A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

thanks, my request is to those who don't give locations in their profile rather than the helpful Tururu :)

The dish size of any confirmed reception would also be helpful

Yeah a very poor position for UK these days, though I do get over 10dB on the above with the 90cm Fibo here.

I would like to get hold of a 90cm Fibo as a replacement for my 88cm mesh dish shame that they are not available any more :(.

Hardly worth splashing out over £200 inc shipping on a 90cm Fibo then :eek: I think I will stick for now 55 east to 55 west does me fine :)

Hi William, why have you never considered a 1.2 CM please, I know I am a CM person, but they don't warp don't bend in strong winds, and match/have the edge on what's out there size for size.

Consider a 1m even - they are very capable dishes. I'd say better than a triax one

New frequency on AM6. Seems to be an Arabic feed. "Yemen Today" briefly flashed up on the screen.

New one on AM6 for me - Al Manar news from Lebanon.

12632V
3000 3/4

58% / 8.2dB

No sign of any of the other three beam 2 channels operating above 12500 (80cm dish)

The beam 2 channels between 12500-12750 aren't great for me either on a 1m dish.

Al Manar is the strongest - 11.7 dB
Alanwar TV - 8.7 dB
Syria Satellite Channel - 7.1 dB

An Arabic news feed @ 12511 V 2170 3/4 labelled "BELADI TV" 9.4 dB.

Bit of a boring satellite now. 54.9E has more to offer, if you can get that.

Nice find - doubt the channels will be very interesting though - they seem to be brokering coverage via several birds to Iran and the Iranian expatriate in Europe & USA.
