ELTR (Kyrgyzstan)

Azerspace 1

28500 5/6

National channel of this enigmatic Central Asian nation. Transmitting fta in Kyrgyz.

A new country for me - its only ever been available on the east beam of 42E prior to this.

 

[Analoguesat]

Interesting - 4 audio tracks on this one!

1 is the programme audio
2 sounds like a radio channel
3 is silent
4 is silent

If they hang around to the end 0f the year this will be another interesting one for the annual "Chasing Midnight" fun on New Years Eve.

Same timezone as Kazakhstan - GMT +6

It also means 3 of the 5 Central Asian "stans" are now available in western Europe

Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Uzbekistan

Now we just need Tajikistan & Turmenistan to appear

You've have seen K+ from Kyrgyzstan on Hot Bird mate, can remember it on a Chasing Midnight list.

 

[Analoguesat]

I was never totally sure K+ was actually Kyrgyz.

Lyngsat list them as coming from Moscow.

Anyway they go off air sometime between 1830 and 2015 uk time, and drop onto a boring colour bar pattern

They spent a lot of time in the capital Bishkek if I remember right.

I am still annoyed I can see 45E but not 46E blooming trees.

 

[Analoguesat]

Thats a shame - 46E is an interesting slot. Ah well maybe when the leaves fall!

 

[Analoguesat]

Full closedown with national anthem at 1940-1943 uk time this evening

Kyrghyz flag, views from around what I presume was Bishkek and some shots of gorgeous scenery.

Not a murmur from that satellite here.
