New bird due to arrive at 25.5E

[Analoguesat]

Eutel 70A (ex W1) is on her way to 25.5E, and will no doubt be redesignated as Eutel 25B.

25A is to be sent elsewhere - cant be much life left in her as that one is ex Hottie 5 and was launched in Oct 1998!

W1 used to put a reasonable signal into Europe when she was at 10E so might be worth keeping an eye on 25.5E in a few weeks time.

Eutel 70A (ex W1) is on her way to 25.5E, and will no doubt be redesignated as Eutel 25B.

I doubt that! An Ariane flight in the middle of the year will carry a new Eutelsat 25B.
So my guess is Eutelsat W1 / 70A will become 25C.
Arrival at 25.5 at current drift speed would be 18 February.

Eutelsats new naming convention is already in a mess - the 16E birds are named in the wrong order as well!

Nothing noted here on an offset lnb on my 1m 21.5E dish (yet) However its cold outside and drizzling so not really conducive to spending much time playing!

On my 1m and F3 the only differences from yesterday are I've lost Assirat on 11152V and gained the channels on 11585V, nothing else seen on the listed transponders and difficult to blindscan due to the proximity of 26E.

 

[SatSearcher]

Nothing whatsoever here so far on my 1.2m dish, a little disappointing really!

 

[Captain Jack]

Right but the channels might not have moved yet...

 

[Koto]

I expected a relatively high signal for the new channels - which was confirmed. But as the wind is currently blowing towards my dish, these channels are subject to image loss. However I made a few photos.

Drat - the 25C footprint has been slewed south & east and isnt very favourable for the UK:

[Captain Jack]

Southern parts of England are a possibility. I'll try it once I finish testing c band on the Fibo. In the meantime - pride21?

 

[Archived-1]

i had a look this morning, nothing here for me one tp was trying to lock :-(,
i will try again with the azbox as it has a lower signal lock than my old tm, and report back.

on east europe and mideast high signal here
it temporarry satellite
eutelsat waiting to launch new satellite and spot beam to 25.5e
mid this year

I ran a blind scan yesterday using the 1.2M motorised dish and my F15.....I locked the transponder with Majestic Movies but it's gone today.

I am locking 11390 H and getting a reading of 5.3dB and 11585V with a reading of 2dB which is too low to lock. Conditions today are excellent for fringe reception, sunny, clear skies and bl**dy freezing.....

 

[RimaNTSS]

I've blindscanned this bird. Found 2 frequencies with 36 services. Level of signals in all channels is quiet low, just about 6-7 dB (perhaps I have snow on dish and too lazy to remove it). All channels are FTA and unknown language. 1.5m PFA antenna.

 

[aceb]

Overcast thick cloud here so not ideal, on the 1m I've regained Assirat on 11152V but lost 11585V again, nothing else locking. I'll check using the 1.2 later this evening.
