For anybody searching for 4.8E Ka, if as last week, this TP will be active for hours and hours and is good strength.

.... Wonder why they have gone with that aspect ratio Llew

 

[Llew]

Yes, good time to check for consistency of signal.

Haven't checked the picture aspect, I've stretched it somewhat to cut off the black level area to the right in 4T2.

That's better. It reports 16:9.

21550H 3300 3/4

Tagged as Bangui. That's the capital of the Central African Republic, so presumably the source of the feed.

 

[Llew]

Feed from Tanzania, Turkey/Tanzania Forum Assembly.

Thought 4A Ka feeds were dead in the water

21550H 3124 3/4

There´s a TV service active right now, but probably only occasional (typical feed parameter):

21551 H 3124 5/6 DVB-S, TV Malagasy from Madagascar

Hello dx qwer, I was looking at your dish farm a few days ago, very nice , nice KA band setup as well

 

[Llew]

Terrible quality transmission, although video bitrate seems reasonable. Not sure of its source - Vohemar mentioned, so probably Madagascar.

Back up again ...

* I'm seeing a low level signal activity at 21.701 from the 1.2 Gibby, I'll swing the 1.8 on to it and have another look.

Didn't notice the Madagascar details you had before I queried its source, apologies.

I have a small hump in the spectrum at that frequency John, but not enough for any intelligable signal though with the 1.2 dish.

21.551 just dropped again Llew, that other frequency activity now looks like data along side another one. Hadn't noticed them before. Vid to follow.

[Llew]

Thanks for checking, odd data carriers indeed.

 

[Llew]

21549H SR3099 FEC3/4 feed. Source unknown.

Edit - dropped now.

 

[Llew]

Kenyan feed 21551 6109 1/3

(Note - forum down for me for an hour, so feed had disappeared by the time this is posted).

 

[John]

... Anybody else seeing this narrow beacon looking Ka Vertical spike on Astra 4.8° East that doesn't look to be documented ?.

Nothing there for me John. Just an undefined spread of noise at 21250 (may be a local issue).

Thanks for looking Llew, is that the Horizontal scan Llew , the signal i'm seeing is on Vertical and definitely drops when i go either side of 4.8° or up and down on declination. Chris (scopus) can perhaps have a look as well on his 1.8 / Inverto

 

[Llew]

I'll check in a while John, when I go down to the dish.

 

[scopus]

Nothing here on V or H just noise like Llews scan..
