Nice. I used to be able to catch the Eastern beam on my then-installed Fibo 120 on whatever satellite was up there in 2012 but haven't tried recently.

I know @nelson_b used to catch one radio frequency on his Alcoa 1.8m dish in the past too.

I did indeed - but then everything changed - the radio t.p. frequency changed and the coverage beam - so that even the 2.4 c.m could not get it .... but i have good broadband now and can listen to "radioeksen" via the internet :)
Big Dishes are down undergoing maintenance / changes currently ... only my motorized 1.2 c.m. in use, no point in trying Turksat east beams with that one up here in the north :(

No reception last night from East beam,
Good signals this morning with no fading so did a full Blind Scan but nothing else materialised just the one transponder found on the East beam.

Coming in OK this morning if on the weak side. Kyrgyz channel but all translation is into Russian. Will see what other channels are available here.

Nothing else.

Just under lock for 12089H.
5.2dB on 12245H (under lock)

Turkish beam, as opposed to East one, seems to be somewhat stronger. I suspect a 2.4m dish would get a lot of those.
