nice one aceb tried this bird many times all I get is some movement on some transponders plus there is a block of flats in the distance.
 
61% Quality here - 66E and 68.5E are the last 2 satellite I can receive on the eastern arc :)
 
This TP is very temperamental for me and it's 50/50 whether I get it or not due to low elevation. This is only on 90cm Fibo, though.
 
Yep, I'd say the eastern limit/elevations for us is about the the same as we are both on the same "curve". Even with 57E, I'll be happy.. there's lots to see anyway :) But even more beyond that, destined for the Indian sub-continent.

I maaay put either a 1.2m CM or 1.2m Fibo up on the wall to get those far eastern sats but need to do a site survey first.

Is anyone in the UK receiving 11580H 2400 1/2 DVB-S? According to Flysat MATCH! is FTA on this transponder :)
 
Techinally should be doable, given that it's in DVB-S with a huge FEC of 1/2. So even a low signal should yield results.
 
I tried with a zone 2 but no lock, it's probably behind a a tree. Will try again up on the roof when the weather improves.

11580H 2400 FEC is now 2/3.
 
It's FTA . Here in Bulgaria now(it's raining):

.. Checked this morning with a 1.2 CM from a very frozen over North Nottinghamshire UK
