42E (Turksat)

[rodscha]

So,Dreamsat andStephan live in 2 different parts or Germany? or isit 2 sizes of dish?

 

[rodscha]

In south France the 42E signal is significantly better than before,on 80cms!!
Of course i ll be happy with the "West" beam!!

 

[cybertomanek]

4A East Beam

 

[Satfaca]

Are 8K transmissions still running on Turksat or is the "project" over?

 

[Satfaca]

Is anyone getting lock on this (11.921 V, SR 20000, FEC 2/3, 8PSK)?
Must be on the "Turkey" beam.

No signal on that freq here 17K North of Nottingham UK. 2.2m PF .

Very weak 2.2 dB signal from northern Bavaria using a 1.80m antenna.
The signal fluctuates throughout the day.

this looks like the astra 28E signal! Up daytime,down night time....
here the 42E,West beam is strong and stable.

 

[stephan94]

The 42 West beam is also perfectly stable at my location,
but the Turkey beam fluctuates;
it's currently at 4 dB, whereas three hours ago it was only 2.3 dB.

From the province of Naples (Italy), with a Gibertini 150 dish, I'm receiving it almost a decibel above the minimum threshold, which should be 6,6 dB. It seems to be transmitting only data, at least that's what TransEdit detects.

Double checked with an early morning scan but still no sign of a signal

The signals have been behaving rather strangely for me since the switch. The only explanation I can think of right now is that the vertical Turkey beams are coming from a different Türksat satellite than the horizontal ones. Previously, I used to get both polarizations quite well at certain times; now, the horizontal Turkey beam comes in very strongly at any time of day, whereas I see almost nothing on the vertical. I also have to adjust the antenna by 0.3 degrees when switching between the vertical and horizontal Turkey beams.

 

[dreamsat]

Now I can see everyone, but I'm very, very far away from the reception area.

 

[stephan94]

For my part, 11886 V has now become visible.

 

[Satfaca]

Horizontal is doable here (except 12.245 H) with 240 cm, however very sensible to polarization/skew change.

 

[Satfaca]

Vertical very rarely except 11.886 V.
