I only get 11532V and 11622H, the rest are either from Turksat, or I cannot distinguish them from the frequencies of Turksat.

Very quiet on here today - are they still transmitting and nothing has changed or is it on the move?

It could just be that solly is on a tea-break?!

Good answer, solly!

Good answer, solly!

I just saw on Lyngsat that they have 2E moving east.....

I just saw on Lyngsat that they have 2E moving east.....

That rather depends upon who told Lyngsat: Like Flysat and other sites, they depend upon input chiefly from hobbyists and it's occasionally inaccurate and uncorroborated. Clearly, as time passes, confidence increases (Or not!).

And "moving East" doesn't inspire confidence as it its final position is some 15.3 degrees West of where it is now.

Edit: Just looked at Lyngsat and I suspect you'll find that report predates Testing ie refers to the initial transition to 43.5E.

But it surely must be close to transit time, so we'll see what our Members report.

In the meantime, the Forum Staff can think how best to arrange the Topics for post-Testing and for Reports by Region. Right now, I'm inclined to follow the same structure as we ended up with for 2F, simply because it worked well enough.

flysat and lyngsat after will be stable position
astra 2e will be move again to 28.2e

 

[Lazarus]

Just time for another Swim, then?!
