[QUOTE="davidcmadrid, post: 832850, member: 390700"] I think you might reasonably expect this beam to be recievable in Crete on a 1.1m dish yet its not stable . The beam that ends furthest away from Crete is 2F 1n pe 1 covers all of Greece supposedely with a 1.2m ( , distance as the crow flies to Crete 60kms. The beam shaping is not that sharp especially given its not too far [I]off Axis[/I]. 2F has a 1.2m edge in Italy distance as the crow flows to Crete is some 1000km In either case the supposition would be that the offical maps in some instances are wrong and that the beam shaping hasnt gone to plan for the canaries or that Greece is not aswell served as th 1npe1 suggests. I dont think we have seen any instance of the beam being tack sharp to 50kms , even off axis. Whats the difference between a 1.1m and 1.2m in db , nada esp if the 1.1 is well lined up with a BU as is the Chania report. Then there is the report from Paphos , granted out of coverage for the mystery beam , but from a 2.8 , it is of axis but only 1000km from where 1N pe1 supposidly ends .. you might reasonably expect something there on a 2.8 ..yet not a flicker ,, at a rough guess Paphos is 2000km from the edge of 2F PE.
