2D power reduction?

[Zorba]

I know.
But I have had enough of working late after a long hot humid day.I feel worn out and ache all over,up and down ladders, in and out of air conditioned houses,driving in traffic etc its a hard life.

 

[iceman]

I know the feeling M8....But at least i dont have to go up & down ladders...all my installations are on ground level maybe you should start doing 4.2's

What ? if its not 2 storey houses then its 4-9 storey apartment blocks for us.2 of us can pull a 3m dish up 9 floors by rope no problem.but a 10 piece 4.2 ? choice of taking pieces up by the stairs(wont fit in the lift) or hiring a crane/fork lift which ups the price.i prefer a 2 piece 3.7m.

I have noticed increased signal levels on the vertical transponders this weekend, about 2% better.

This 2% improvement is over what? is it an improvement over what you have always had on Vertical transponders or since the problems started few weeks ago?What about horizontals? have you noticed any positive/negative activity on horizontal transponders?

Update,I have had no break up on bbc for 2 nights now,although i still get calls from other 3m dish owners that do.Well,looks like i will have to add a torch to my tools now.

I agree with you M8...I also noticed the signal improvement on my 3m last two evenings....It was unwatchable lately between 8-10 but last two evenings i get the occasional breakup but it is still watchable...

The signal strenght on 2D is definitely getting back to normal...hardly had any brekups tonight.

Has the humidity dropped over there?

Yes M8...it sure has...the temperature has dropped also...quite noticable specially in the evenings..

woud be interesting to have some more feedback from other parts of the island.

Much cooler here too and the signal is significantly better!

I find this conversation very interesting.So i want to make a hypothetical question.Do you think a 5 meter dish in pafos area will be able to bring down the vertical transporders ? Have you heard anything similar?

No chance....To my knowledge 2D vertical transponder is not present for eastern europen countries..My guess is Austria might me lucky with a 3.0m+ dish...
I am still waiting response from this thread..>> http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=76420

That might be possible in paphos.Strange but in rhodes island which is about 200 miles to the wes t of paphos they get only the vertical transponders.I know strange but true.And thats with a 3.0metres dish.

You mean ONLY verticals? what about horizontals?

 

[snowman30]

I've heard the same about rhodes.They receive the verticals with 3.10 ,but for the horizontals need 4.5 meters

 

[enoc]

BTW....where can i buy a 4.20 meter dish??? and how much will be?

thanaks

i have notice that Quilty has reduced as to rains in west off ireland , not only one in the area that have ring sky , to be told my dish as moved and could send some one out at cost

ring mate and he came out and read the single with a meter ha it drop in Quilty streant , still the same as when i put the dish up 4 years ago it had move as he has it marked both v pole and h pole

 

[fastxt]

After doing some work on three of my installations this evening i have come to believe the problem we have been experiencing on 2D lately has nothing to do with humidity or atmospheric activity....

ha what about al the hot place that pick up sky ..... dont think that happen as iceman said

and it is a deffinately NOT a power reduction on 2D... so what is it then ?

Not sure what you are stating mate.your mate came round and checked SIGNAL,and it DROPPED in QUALITY STRENGTH ?
But still the same as 4 years ago and it had moved??????

Did he fix it or not?
