87,5° East Chinasat 12

[dreamsat]

This is my last position deep in the east. The signal fluctuates a lot and I have to wait a long time before I can receive the transponders. But it works fine at two meters. KCTV dosn't work.

Finally got the KCTV again myself.

Today I was able to capture two frequencies from the Cinasat 12 again with 2.20m. KC TV was not possible. I only get 3.8 dB

What elevation do you have at 87.5E in your area? I'm assuming it's the last one you get.
Thanks

1,2° at home (2,20m antenna) on the big antenna works usaly with 88° east

Today KC-TV is possible. unfortunately only a test image

It's not a test card but ... they have not that much to transmit. As far as I remember they only air for about two hours daily.

I used to get KCTV on 58W but not tried it in a while. The transmission time is limited - best to look in the morning to early afternoon UK time.

the reception at 4181 V 4166 Korea Central TV is verry bad.

The test at 87.5E Chinasat-12 with lnb Titanium C-138, 5G Red 1, 3.8-4.2GHz band, NF 15° helped me receive this satellite better so that the active transponders could be locked. The most wanted, as a curiosity, was the North Korean channel KC TV, which can be watched at over 5dB.

The most problematic package to receive is the Raj Network package on 4140 V,28800,3/4,8PSK, which can be received at a limit of around 8dB.
The other Polimer TV package on 4020 V has a signal that is easier to lock and stable.

The strongest signal is on 4167 V,1200,5/6, with over 12dB. This could be helpful for those who want to identify the 875E position if they have no other orientation reference. This mux has two IP streams, as does the adjacent mux on 4165 V,2049,3/4.

I watched again the KCTV channel and the images shown, with happy children, reminded me of the Ceausescu years in communist Romania, when the stadiums were full of people and children to pay homage to a paranoid leader. It's the same in North Korea, with "happy" children living in an unhappy/cursed country, embracing the obscene Supreme Leader, exulting in happiness.
