Intelsat39 scanned L-circular pole and found some txp. Good signal at 3871 with 14.7dB, despite bad weather.

Did a scan on 49E Yamal 601. Don't think it's a noticeable difference vs old Yamal 202, maybe 1-2 dB more. Made in southern Sweden, perhaps greater differences in the rest of Europé.

Covarage map looks really interesting both at C and Ku band. Looks like the Iranian channels become possible in northern Europe, today I get max 3-4 dB when more 6-8 dB is needed for reception. On the C band, the EU beam becomes extremely strong. The pictures are on the Intelsat website.

The H transponder is easy, around 15-17 dB I have tried with the V txp, but my best is 2.8 dB at 11,555V and failed need around 8.2 for locking. Is there anyone in Northern Europe who gets them and what size of dish?

Great improvement with Intelsat 37e, i can for first time pick up 4032 Ghana mix. Very bad weather thick fog

I have noticed that at the end positions, the actuator gets the biggest stresses and probably the biggest wear and tear. The actuator should have 36V but if I lower it to 24V the speed should be smaller and the loadings will be smaller and the actuator should last longer. Comments on this...

Found some new txp, good signal: 3659L SR 1666 9.3dB Fana TV 3673L SR 3331 11.0dB Unknown channel

Has a 3m satellite dish with motor drive. When you drive it to the east-west end, there will be quite a lot of stress on the engine. Thinking about lowering the voltage to the motor from 36V to 24V, and then the motor should run slower and less power/wear on the engine. Thankful for advice, if...

ABS 2A looks interesting with: MENA beam: http://www.absatellite.net/footprints/abs2a-mena.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=600 Africa Beam: http://www.absatellite.net/footprints/abs2a-africa.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=600 Scaned March 2.

Signal levels in South Sweden. No signal ME beam.

Made some scans

Reception of Intelsat 33E 11491H 11.4 dB 11498H 11.5 dB 11504V 8.1 dB 11522V 10.0 dB And old Intelsat 904 11583V 16.4 dB 11622V 15.2 dB Looks like the new 33E is slightly weaker. On the C band is quiet now, African channel seems to have shifted or change frequency.

Txp 4064R have changed SR 27500 and 8PSK.

CIS TV new to me, 3662R 4880 1/2 at 5.9dB Ertu 3688 no signal.

Some luck att last, but pretty much locking in the picture. 5.8 dB, great weather, Cold and no clouds Southern part of Sweden.
