Did it today. The contour lines are geometric, not just artistic, and I labeled them based on the reports so far.Huevos , you got it correct for me . Bottom of the black line in Murcia smack on the coast . Not a sausage on 1m , plenty of 11023 signal on 1.8. When did you do this map ?
I don't know but if the reports from the Canaries are true reception should be possible below the black line. Anyway lets wait and see once the switch has happened and people start posting reports from south of the line.So how is Gibraltar to be served ...................... ?

Strangely with a small 85cm dish and inverto black ultra, the heart and capital tp not great but better than some of the 1n transponders for me, I am never sure about non linear frequency responses of dish/lnb setups causing odd results but admit that anything 1GHz and using waveguide technology a mystery to me.Must agree there. Stuffed an attenuator inline and the Capital & Heart tp is one of the weakest here in the Midlands.

Gibraltarians don't need Spanish lessons, they're all bilingual. And anyway they've got terrestrial tv (GBC) with lots of material from BBC and ITV.They arent - they are all going to get free Spanish lessons instead
Here's a footprint forecast I made for Spain, based on reports so far. I know some of you are getting 11023H with smaller dishes, but probably with very little weather margin, and a lot of the transponders not yet migrated have much lower output than this one had.
On what device? And who is we? 1m is on the limit there on that transponder, and will be worse on the band D transponders due to Badr 5 interference. Need to wait for the switch to see exact dish size but probably end up being 1.2m for a serious install.we are seeing C/N of 6.6dB,stable picture

First catch
Guys, fringe reception is not an exact science. I've got a 90cm & a 110cm dish here and a couple of the transponders on 1N are almost equal on both dishes while others have 4dB difference.this chap here in Trancoso says he's having a constant watchable picture 24/7. Go figure ....
I managed to tune in my friends 1.35M offset with 0.3db sharp LNB and compared it with my 1.9M prime focus C120 0.3 LNB
1.9M 90% strength & 90% quality
1.35M 80% strength & 60 - 70% quality I was getting a lot of signal bounce
Was the same tuner used on both antennas ? When you say signal bounce do you mean signal increasing decreasing ? 1.35 would be one of the smaller dish sizes Iveseen for Mucia
Love the idea of the above - lorry loads of huge dishes migrating south in exchange for smaller dishes and cash migrating northwards. There must be a buiness opportunity there somewhere......
