Astra 2F Testing Reception Reports

[solly]

11711h weak signal

 

[Huevos]

i not see that
maybe spot beam ?

What can't you see? 11643h? It's still active. It just pops out of the noise for about 0.25 second every 10 or 15 seconds. Easy to catch with a device with real time spectrum and peak hold.

Nothing on 11711H for me right now.

 

[solly]

for me 10840v
spot beam

 

[solly]

10870v very weak then astra 1n 1db spot uk beam
it realy cut beam

 

[Huevos]

I can't see any of that. Maybe it is Africa beam.

 

[solly]

now i got 12515h very strong

 

[gonzobaby]

Solly, if you would know how many Turksat signals you are receiving... you could save a lot of your posts !

 

[solly]

it for sure not turksat
turksat i got 17 c/n
10967 start band turksat
it signal below turksat

 

[gonzobaby]

now i got 12515h very strong

look at the frequency table of Turksat and let me know if you noticed something...

 

[Huevos]

10754v active at some. Point over last 2 hours. Will post a screenshot later.

 

[Huevos]

Ok, here are a couple of screenshots.

First, 10754V on Astra 2F @ 43ºE.
Second, 10758V on Astra 1N @ 28ºE for level comparison using the same aerial.

i not receiver this signal it no much strong

Looks interesting as your location not far from me, I know it is too early to judge but questions
1. Do you know if it PE or UK spot?
2. Is it aerial or dish/lnb, I really don´t know if other aerials work at these frequenicies, lost above 1 GHz on this front,

No real way to tell. All the info about beams on these threads are guesswork, nothing more.

Solly, I don't know the duration of this test. It may just have been active for a matter of seconds. We had people around for the afternoon and I just left the meter running for a few hours on peak-hold and this is what it caught in that time.

1. Do you know if it PE or UK spot?

Only SES know that. As AS says predicting which beam this is would be complete guesswork. To map a beam properly we would need a stable signal, and a large number of stations across Europe able to submit signal reports. And that's not going to happen until the satellite starts transmitting DVB-S modulated signals that a wider audience are able to receive.

2. Is it aerial or dish/lnb

A dish/LNB is an aerial, isn't it?

terryashbyash probably means, it is possible that some local transmitter got into your coax cabling. That thought also crossed my mind.
10754 - 9750 = 1004 MHz. These kind of frequencies may be used by (illegal) video transmitters.
DECT telephones are also known for causing interference.

You may try to disconnect the LNB and just hang a short piece of wire to the coax core (carefully of course)!
Some possibly interfering spectrum peaks will appear, and maybe a few funny constellation diagrams as well.

What I posted is coming from the satellite, that is certain.

Terry's question was in response to my comment in post #611.

 

[solly]

i receuver l band 1090 and 1120 db up signal
short pick signal

Solly, you've lost me here.

 

[solly]

now i see 11623v few secend it spot beam no pe beam
that why it low signal
