Some nice catches tonight Hvdh

 

[hvdh]

Only thing right now, with 4.6 dB too weak for making screenshots, while sound is usually there.
Maybe more luck tomorrow morning.

I chased this bird for a while, I managed to get some movement but under lock, my dish needs tweaking since its move, I will give it another go at some point, good luck in the near future Hvdh .

From my QTH, the signal is not very strong but this TXP is not difficult to lock, thanks hvdh for the update.

Hi to all, just want to know if it's possible to get the Amos 5 ku-band Chanels , with a 3.10 m mesh satellite dish in the nord-est of Italy , near venise.
45.27• N - 11.12• E

Thanks

I would definitely imagine so. You will be able to get all the three beams with a 3.10 Mesh Dish.

It's good there was a loose bolt and I had to align the dish again 2 weeks ago, it improved reception a bit!
11883 V often gives 5 dB in the evenings. And since today, RTNC is back.

11800 V is easier to lock (FEC 2/3), but nothing to see there, only colour bars.

Great stuff hvdh , ive tweaked and tweaked and tried at the best of times day and night and not locked anything in but had movement, its the 1.8 dish for me this one

 

[hvdh]

Yes Martin dish size will be even more important for 17°E, to suppress Astra 19.2°E.
It's noticeable here too, need to point somwhere between 16.6° and 16.8° for best dB values.

Yes pal the bigger dish will tighten the beam up and more away from 19.2 , when i get it up

Are you getting any Ku-transponders from this bird Zorbua?

Just a quick stop here with the 1.8, no lock but good signs, room for improvement tweaking and weather wise .

 

[Archived-1]

Hi, a little tweak and now locked, weak but room for improvement, happy days another to cross of my list

 

[hvdh]

No lock here either on 11884 V the last few weeks, despite good weather now.
But it will come again, this one has its up and down moods!
Edit: congrats!

Thanks hvdh, I am locking a few here, I might stay parked here for the night and see if the cloud clears, I am moving the motor with a car battery atm lol, here's another .

11884 was always visible but below lock for me on the 1.5m. 12207 came in sometimes at 5dB, locked and watchable.

Well I must say I am impressed, this is what the dish is looking at on a wobbly pole with very little alignment and I am getting this from 11884 , I can see the sort of reception I will get on a clear day when the dish has been fine tuned , ive parked here for the night and just sat down with a beer, I will go through the transponders and see if i can get anymore.
