on this week check 1.2m in mideast no reception 1.2m
it look mid september replace satellite from 3b to 3c
the foot receiver 1.5m near ankara turkey
any know of cyprus receit it on 1.2m ?

tried with my 1.5m offset but no reception for M7, FYI.

[it look footprint large 2.0m dish for mid east
For Israel, such an antenna is needed, for the Fide beam.Perhaps 1.5m will work, if you tune it to the beam correctly. I checked this satellite today on a 1.2m antenna - /focus/. The signal on all frequencies is 95-100% quality. The Europe-Astra 3B beam was only 44%.

These Satellite Footprints are from Flysat and Lyngsat ?
 
SatStar.net - Home - and Lyngsat, excellent sites themselves. The rest look ugly, their photos of coverage maps.
 
I also like the site Satbeams - World Of Satellites at your fingertips , open Footprints and go to any point in the world, select a satellite - / beam that shines on you / + your place of residence and everything is visible. The diameter of the antenna and all the data on where to turn and adjust the antenna.

The footprints for Astra 3C are not (yet?) on Satbeams.

According to Lyngsat only M:Sat TV (12402 V and lower) and SkyLink with 11876 H and 11973 V are still on Astra 3B.
On the website of Canal Digitaal you can find the latest footprints of Astra 3C.

The transponders are either on West Beam of East Beam.

@ALPER ULUDAG Could you confirm witch frequencies you still can receive to check if Lyngsat is right?
 
works fine here.

That doesn't surprise me for your location.
I was hoping to get an answer from someone closer to the footprint, like Kreta or Cyprus.

I know that distance matters when it comes to reception area, that's why I'm not sure if the signal in my area would be valid for yours. The distance between my area and yours is about 1450 kilometers?
I have scanned Astra 3B at 23.5E with Toroidal (T90) to see what level the signal reaches at this position in my area with a not too big antenna and a 16 years old LNB (Strong).
For this reason, I'm not sure if the signal I got is also relevant for those Mediterranean islands. I hope so.
But I can assume that if with a 90cm antenna you don't get all the transponders, then with a 1.10m antenna you have a good chance to get them all(?).

I just want to know if and which transponders are still om 3B and those on 3C if they are on East or West beam.
I'm in the middle of the footprint so I can't see the difference, but on the edges of the footprint it must give a difference.

All the transponders you are interested in on Astra 3B/3C can be seen on my spectrum, all with SNR above 10dB. Which means reception is possible from both satellites in your area. Both beams overlap in your area, about the same in many areas. Usually the assessment we make from the coverage maps about the signal is more indicative.
Now it's up to you to check how much signal you get from one or the other.
By having my spectrum at hand, with the signal values from each trp, you can determine (roughly) from the list, e.g. FlySat, what would be the signal level available in your area.
If you fail, you pay my way to you, and I'll do it myself :D

My questen betwin astra 3b and astra 3c it level signal c/ n of turkey like ankara ?
 
Astra 3C coverage is slightly better in the western (central?) part of Turkey than Astra 2B. But to get an acceptable signal you need a 1.30m antenna, better 1.40m.
But it would be much more useful if someone from that area could tell how the two satellites receive at 23.5E.

Happy New Year 2025!
