Astra 2G: Pre-Testing Phase

[hvdh]

Thanks, with 1.4° per day, arrival at 43.5°E on 3 May.

4 months in orbit and Ku not tested yet.

Tracking shows Astra 2G at 44°E already, so seems the sat has arrived IOT position 43.5°E

P.S. Unfortunately, there are a lot of strong signals from 45°e, 44.5°e and 42°e in my location, it will be hard to determine test carriers between powerful interference for me
Seems it would be better for me to look at 52°e and 12°w testing.

At last! Hopefully we can now see what she´s got!

We may start to find out as soon as tomorrow, as not a bank holiday in mainland Europe.

I'll start a spreadsheet at home to try and track whats being tested from reports and post periodically.

AS, is it time to open a new topic now testing has begun?

Yes, good point, if it hasn't been done I move the tests from this topic to a new one later this afternoon.

Please make your observations in this new thread. Since we are out of the pre-testing phase I've locked this thread.
