Nothing from the vertical transponders) give excellent reception except in conditions of heavy rain approaching from the south. Due to the low sighting angle from here, this is also a problem with reception of signals aimed at Sweden! Strangely, the Astra 2A south beam gives nothing although, according to Astra’s footprint, its signal strength here should be considerably greater.Boy! This is some side-lobe!</blockquote>
