[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 502339, member: 176074"] zorba, why do you use as highest points 26E/28.2E ? In Cyprus i would use 33E as the most southern satellite. The 1st mentioned would be suitable in the Eastern Aegean for example. As for your theoretical viewable part of the Clarke-Zone from Lemesos/Limassol, if no obstacle would block the sight and the mount allowed the movement to such low elevations 45W-110E are the maximum. I wonder if anybody tried getting the still relatively strong 43W/45W from Cyprus. But the more interesting lower positions are of course in the C-Band. 40.5W which should be quite hard to get because of its low signal in the area and the much easier 105.5E which carries lots of Pakistani channels and drives mad so many residents of Western Europe since this satellite is below their horizon. But C-Band unfortunately for many people has a reputation of beeing old-fashioned. Ok, Astra 2D is interesting, no doubt about it, but the many FTA exotical stations in the C-Band are not less interesting in my view. Gladly more and more DXers here in Central Europe come to the same conclusion. I really wonder, is there anybody C-Band DXing with >3m in CY ? [/QUOTE]
