My dish is a bit out.
I think that it is at 26 West.
I am getting this beacon.

This will be Hispasat 36W-1, that arrived at 26.0°W about 2 weeks ago for in-orbit testing.
(For those who may wonder what this is about). :cool:

Yes, +1 for nice find pontiend.

I will move the dish over there now and have a scan.
Does anyone know how long the satellite is going to be at this location, is it just a temporary slot?

Yes moonbase, temporary at 26.0°W for in-orbit testing, here you'll only find carriers and other unlockable signals, normally.

The carrier at 11967 V confuses me, because the published TT&C frequencies are in different sub-bands (11452 & 12749)!
So far, I only found that the uplink range is 14.25...14.5 GHz: SmallGEO - eoPortal Directory - Satellite Missions
(Hispasat AG1 is original name for Hispasat 36W-1)

@blademedia 12283 V 2200 is 31.5°W (Intelsat 25), 12482 V 15000 probably 33.5°W (HYLAS 1)

Thanks hvdh, I am sure I am at 26W but could be ghosting, I am new to using cards, what's the transponders to the left please

A table with some 30°W Hispasat transponders it seems.
To find the 26°W test signals, it's of no use to scan for transponders.
There are only peaks to be found, in spectrum view.

Thanks for that, will use spectrum in future.

I've been strugging too, all I find is 3 * 144 MHz transponders in Ka-band.
I'd first try 19.7...20.2 Ghz, Hispasat 30W-5 uses that portion as well.

Will be interesting to see what plans Hispasat have for channels in this new position of 36west?

As @satosk would say, i'm fishing in two new Ka sea's at the moment trying to catch something , 42.5° East and now 26° West temporary slot.
As i am rigged at the moment, only the 1.25 Gibertini installation looking at 42.5°E has monitoring for band B and band D but will not come round to cover orbital slots greater than 1°W upwards.
The other "rod", the 1.8CM is looking at 26° West temporary slot but only has Ka band D monitoring, so can't fish for 19.2 to 20.2 fish at the moment. I might have another modded band B Hughes lnb somewhere that i could put on the 1.8 ?.

Probably to promote twin Lnb set up on a small dish in Spain "30 west + 36 west" so virtually anything that is on 30 west may come to 36 west.
