Hello everybody,
I would really appreciate if anybody here could let me know what is (not) receivable today in Cyprus of
a) Astra 4A Nordic
b) Thor 5 T1
c) Thor 6 K1
with which dish size and in which location inside the island.
3 years ago a well known DXer from Lemesos/Limassol told me he could get full Astra 4A (former Sirius 4) Nordic Beam on his motorized 2.1m. Unfortunately Thor 5 and 6 were not up yet so i have no information about them.
Please don't advise me to the official footprints. I am seeking for facts and these say that the Verticals of Thor 5 T1 Beam reach even the Southern Aegean on dishes far smaller than 2m. Thor 5 T1 Horizontals and Thor 6 K1 are extremely difficult even on 3m. Cyprus is more East and thus the reception conditions might differ a lot. Worse or better because of a sidelobe, who knows ?
Looking forward in reading about your experience or knowledge.
Best regards.
