I think there is a difference between the two positions. I have 0.4 ° between both satellites. However, the levels and transponders clearly indicate two separate positions.
The 21219 LHCP comes from the WGS 9
Could someone check this to be sure. Thanks

regards

Hello,
today I have worked intensively with the KA band position 56.5 and 56, 8 East. After several tests, the situation is for me.
The frequency 2019 L comes from WGS 9 to 56.8 ° East. When I turn west it is the only frequency that is worse to receive. If I turn east again then all other frequencies come.
The distance between the two positions is 0,38 ° for me.

best regards dreamsat

I just saw that I made a mistake. The frequency that matters is the 20219 LHCP.

and now the right pictures:Y:Y

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I can't help either, though I am working towards a Ka band system for Christmas.
From the Norad files

WGS9
56.75 E


Intelsat - 5F4
56.60E


The positions will have an accuracy relative to the positioning of the two satellites, that is defined by the station keeping crew that are assigned to maintain efficiency of the fuel on board, with the caveat 'because there is little else out there, you can let it go if it saves a bit of propellant'.

Since both satellites are a good few 000 kilometers away from each other (in three dimensions) and there is not much else at the orbital locations, I would suspect they are happy to let a few hundredth of a degree slide if it means a few months more of downlinking.

Have you tried a smaller dish on the position ?
