[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 832582, member: 196043"] I can't lock 12207V or any of the other transponders that recently moved off 2A on a good 1.8m dish in Helsinki, but 12109H, 12148H, 12324V are showing signs of life on the quality bar but no lock. The other transponders are pretty showing nothing at all or a very slight flicker. However I can get signals on 11009V and 11186V. 11009V is the strongest and is about 5.5-6.5dB during the day and peaks at about 8dB after midnight local time (10pm GMT) based on the readings from my DrHD F15. 11186V is weaker and is about 5-6dB during the day and peaks at about 7.5dB after midnight.
