Astra 2F at 28E (at last!)

[strs65]

Although I have no lock on my 1.10m, 11023H is clearly there. Maybe with a 2.4m here it could be receivable...

by the way:

a german sat-dx friend has created a nice map with google maps where you can see the dish sizes in whole europe

_http://constantinmedia.com/sat/DishSizeMaps/

(it´s in testmode actual... the existing entries will be deleted next days and then you all can put a pin on the map)

Isnt that from the testing phase at 43.5E? - Edit yup it is

Lyngsat will probably report the change by Sunday as CL likes to check these things before he publishes them.

Showing as 27 east here -http://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/Catalog/catalogID.php?38778

27.1 east here -http://www.n2yo.com/?s=38778

24.83 east here -http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/Astra-2F.html

28.2 east here -http://en.kingofsat.net/sat-astra2f.php

I suspect we've got a goodly number of sane and well-equipped people type persons here to know when things are ramping up with the changeover, so hopefully we'll be ahead of the Listings Sites.

(That's a challenge, chaps!)

Slubice, near German border - 11023H receivable, signal 80%. quality 35% - offset dish 125x140

 

[Redjenko]

At this point , if we are receiving a strong test signal , would it be fair to say this will be the case for the whole switchover ? Or is this all speculation ?Can things change much from here ?

 

[solly]

it can be 11023h transmition low power on 1n
and not move to 2f ?

 

[gonzobaby]

Slubice, near German border - 11023H receivable, signal 60%. quality 35% - offset dish 125x140

interesting ! A german DXer - some kilometers eastern from Berlin - can receive 2F stable with 8.61dB on 120cm Laminas.. is there a sidelobe ???

it's possible but less likely

 

[joddle]

Just tried 11023H 23000 2/3 DBDs2 8spk again and have the two channels 8901 and 8911 both with total 100% SS and 100% SQ - will try again into the night to see if it drops off like 2D did!!!

Added later - at 21:08 local time with the 20db attenuator on I am still getting approx 65% SS and 100% quality

 

[iggy]

Forumer from Slubice picks signal with 125cm offset dish, another colleague from Poznan, 130 km eastwards, doesn't pick anything - 180cm offset. Isn't it dramatic?

Very likely. that guy receives 11023 with 125 offset MABO.

Nope - because they know how to make money - i expect MORE sky channels here in TENERIFE not less

 

[andrewcrawford]

So they clearly read KingOfSat ...................................... ! (And who gave them the info in the first place)

As I said a few Posts ago, Who Leads And Who Follows?!

(I'm being whimsical - I know you are a valued provider of reports to at least one of the major Sites of the ilk, and appreciate it)

they generally lead from when i update satbeams ;) i dnt know how many times in the pas ti have update sat beams within a few hours it there, but note i have not updated satbeams because we cant yet 100% confirm its on astra 2f uk spot but i think we all can be fairly sure it is

anagoluesat cheers for the explanations i have been wondering what it was all about especially when i was seeing c band lnb hopefully if my wife lets me i will be get 3 new dish probably in time for 2e testing, at least 1.2m motor not sure i can get bigger, 1.5m fixed onto 4 main broadcast slots 13/19/23/28 and 2m dish or slightly bigger depends wha ti can get for aiming for anything i decide i want to point it at

Most unlikely.
