Some transponders that had gone from here earlier have now come back (100cm dish)

 

[william-1]

Zik is back with a very good signal (100cm)

 

[Laser]

Thanks William 1. Got all of the above. I waited until now to get a proper reading as it was a typical winters day here.. Pouring with rain earlier.
ZIK .. Yes great signal. The only one from earlier that is missing is 12315 H 15000. Be switched on again overnight I expect..

 

[william-1]

Most of the TV on 12315 H 15000 is duplicated on 10842 H 30000 with an increase in signal quality that was not possible on Amos-2 so maybe the 10842 H transponder is from Amos-7 ? all will be revealed at 10pm GMT +2 hours in Israel = midnight there.

 

[william-1]

Amos 2 will cease transmissions @ 4 west in 5 minutes

If they have migrated all transponders on Amos 7 than the signal is weaker on some transponders, in particular on Vertical,by 3/4 dB than last night.At least that shows me the analyzer at this late hour.Maybe later to return to the same level as before.

 

[william-1]

Very high signal on 10805 H last scan for tonight Zik gone here again.

 

[william-1]

Blind Scan 10700 to 11200 (100cm + TM5502HD)



I may need to reset this dish to get a better signal on 11176H as it took quite a battering during the gales last week.

I am receiving freq 12315 H 15000 with a signal level of 14db down here using a 1.2 Dish.

 

[AndyX]

TVH at almost 12 dB 11542H 3700
ZIK back this morning with 9db.

Nothing from other frequencies although a few cam through at about 6db yesterday evening.

 

[william-1]

Same 2 here after 12:00 only TVH & Zik nothing else from 4 west ?
Maybe this is the change over to Amos-3 & 7.

 

[william-1]

Other transponders coming back now.

 

[Captain Jack]

I was sure 11175H was on Amos 3, which is barely receivable on my 1.8. Will try it in a few days to see what it's like now.

[william-1]

I can see 10842 H,11176 H & 12315 H on the Spectrum Analyses graph but no lock here on these,

Scanned the empty part of the Ku band here @ 4 & 5 west just in case (11700 to 12500) only showing 12315 H showing but no lock.

 

[VodzigorLans]

That Hungary betting services encrypted tp is now 11626 (11627 maybe correct one or so because of my incorrect setup) H 15000 2/3 8PSK.
Why not use 10700-11200H? Why use same range as 5W uses for Europe beam(s)??



P.S. signal is increased now by 2 db.
P.P.S. signal is increased now by 4 db.
P.P.P.S. signal is gone.
