Maybe adverse weather conditions at uplink location causing issues?

Anything is possible with the current UK weather conditions!

The power on 11023 seems to have been backed off. I looked an hour ago and it was 99% Its now 88%.

Is it raining there?

 

[welshman234]

Back but heavy pixellation 43%SNR we have rain and fog here at the moment plus windy

Nice catch. Looks like you are right on the limit of reception.

here

well it's possible then in the Canaries.there was a debate about possibility of reception there

 

[davidcmadrid]

Congrats oldfart , by all accounts thats good DX!

 

[Analoguesat]

Is it raining there?

No. Overcast but I could just about see the moon through the clouds out to the south east. I also went outside to check the lnb & it was clear of moisture & other obstructions.

The power had definitely been reduced somewhere for a while.

Well no sign of any change here. Right now it is raining and that transponder is down 0.2dB, but so are all the transponders on 1N.

Oh yeah, today I skewed my Fibo LNB for Astra and now it is an easy catch on that dish. Now showing 54% on the Duo instead of 49%. Signal collapse for 8PSK 2/3 is 44% on that receiver, and about 38% for QPSK 5/6.

 

[oldfart]

rained here yesterday (2nd time in 12 months!!!)
but none today, just very windy, but clear blue skies to the south.
Wind dropped now.

 

[welshman234]

Signal totally gone where I am

 

[Analoguesat]

Just watched the signal strength go from 87% to 99% over half a minute.

Some people have far too much free time on their hands!

 

[welshman234]

Tried rescan on my vu+ and now 8901 8911 have disappeared off the list. (stupidly pressed clear Yes before scan).... and now I cannot scan them at all. Hey the future looks great (not)

My setup allows easy monitoring of things like this - twin monitors on my computer, with the satellite receivers all feeding a tv card in the computer via rf.

The tv card is running continuously on the second monitor whilst Im at home.
