Astra 2E: Testing at 43.5E

[strs65]

Ok, thanks again!

 

[satesco]

Can someone confirm me if this carrier-12418 V is active ?Not sure if the signal is test carrier.I've seen it all day on the spectrometer.

 

[strs65]

I can't see anything at 12418V right now, but I neither remember something there, the rest of the day. It seems modulated, or not?

good morning to all
maybe it was quick signal on 12418v and down quick

Good morning to all

Rainy day here, after months of drought. Not really suitable for observing the Astra 2E tests!

10958v
3db

I did tests with 2 antennas{1.1m & 1.5 m} to carrier-12440 v.Strong signal with both dishes even if it's raining outside.

12444v

strong pe beam

Two test signals right now, the first at 10730V and the second at 12057V. Both rather low...

We must be in the final throw of testing. (4 weeks this Friday)
Then, what a 14 day transfer ?

It took about 10 days for 2F at about 1.6W/day, they may decide to move 2E at a different speed.

I'm going to collate all the final frequencies tested by close of play Friday and re-post along with what I put up last weekend, if there's more testing next week I'll have to add these when I return from my hols!

theoretic need to finish or saterday morning
the transfeld to 28.2e
know yet who much deg will be pass each day
or 0.8deg or 0.5 deg

 

[strs65]

Still testing at 43.5E.

10730V, 12582H and 12662V on...

Solly, that might be a suitable trigger to kick off the new General Discussion Topic

(I've paraphrased your Post ;))

New test at 12115H

Hi M60, Could you give a hint which of the tested frequencies were previously on Astra 2b. Could thus be relevant for fringe reception areas (e.g. Cairo) where 2b provided SSp 1-3, itv1, c4 NI etc....

 

[solly]

for now 12111h use astra 1n it be move to 2e when is start service

Have a look on older cached pages of Lyngsat or kingofsat as these will show what was on ex-2B TP's. I did have them scribbled on a bit of paper at home, if so I'll post them in the early hours of the morning when I'm back home.

12036 H-a carrier with strong signal in my area.
