40.5W SES6 & NSS806

[Kveys]

Soon I shall be behind of you. You see last night was very dry and clear weather and first time ever something more than Hipodromo de san isidro appearenced on Morning. Many upper band frequencies gave signal and some even locked, like 4093R and 4100R. So Venezuela catched from 40.5W. Still waiting Guayana, peru, Colombia, Honduras etc

On next tuesday I will move my mesh 1m ahead and I hope/wish/believe that then these near horizont satellites give more and better signal..?

 

[Captain Jack]

1m ahead? You mean 1m higher?

 

[Kveys]

I know, I know its sure possible badenglishtypo but yes ahead/forward. There is community outdoor lamp-pole (dont know right word for that?). And after dish moving I surely "overtake" it. My own mistake at first -> 34.5W clear but then that pole. I thought that pole has about 45W but Also trees far away theorically in front of?? Only 3.1° (40.5W) and 1.9° (43W). It must be more than clear before good signal possible...

Not too far from Africa here. But it's so big it makes Europe look like my back garden.
Not sure what you mean?

I thinkj he meant british forces broadcasting service, nepali tv is the only fta channel of them, sky sports, bbc one etc are encrypted

 

[Captain Jack]

Nepali TV on 40W has been encrypted for quite some time now.

I posted the scan results attached below in an installation topic elsewhere on the forum. However, it might be useful to have the scan results included in the dedicated topic for 40.5W C band?

The scan results attached below were from a Precision 1.5 metre dish using a Titanium single output C band LNB.

My scan from today - 1.8m Channel Master + AV Comm barrel and Zinwell LNB.

CJ,

Nice result, thanks for sharing. Its a big increase in the number of transponders compared to my scan with a 1.5m dish. Still no sign of the ESPN feed that forum member "gap30" is hoping to get with his Gibertini 1.5m dish?





Looking at the footprint maps for SES 6, the ESPN transponder is probably on the West Hemi beam?

[Captain Jack]

It's there but I don't get a lock on it.

 

[John]

@Captain Jack , your only just under lock there Alex, i can get it to lock at 8dB but it is only just. Good signal with me tonight at 9.6dB at the moment up here in North Notts, 2.2 PF Elite, Norsat wide band lnb / AV-Comm poloriser barrel / motorised skew-polarity. There is nothing FTA though on this freq.

John,

Its an ESPN PowerVu broadcast.

I cant see "gap30" getting this one with his 1.5m Gibertini, he might be joining "The Big Dish Men" sooner than he planned if he wants to get this one in the bag?

@scopus Chris might be able to have a stab at it on his 1.8 CM, he's got the extra bonus of motorised skew as well to fine tune with.

 

[nelson_b]

Was going to give my signal result with 1.8 offset here ... but the fine tune elevation jack is giving me the dreaded E-2 error ... a job for tomorrow!
