MENA beam is not possible from south-west Germany on 2.2m all the years before.. not tried in 2025 yet... about 6-10dB under link margin here...

BeIN on 25.8E MENA beam OK here in the South East UK.

I can receive some MENA transponders as well on 1.8m CM in South West UK, though most are rather marginal.

 

[Tomek22]

MENA in Poland also not possible

11546 V 27500 for example which is the stronger one is only 3.5dB. 8dB is needed to lock it.
10890 H 27500 total zero.

Here is a comparison 2.20m and 3.70m. Things were much better two years ago.

1.8m PF, Bullseye, Skew set for Eutelsat so not ideal

If you are in Scandinavia, is there a reason for asking reception in Poland ?

Nothing changed here in Finland since 2023

Es'hail 2 25.8°E channels

I watched the amateur radio band again today. With the online monitor you can easily track who and how many carriers are currently on the air. another one

With what size of dish?

 

[weakbit]

My location is Vienna what is the minimum dish size to receive any signal from the Es'hail2? I run a 80cm in Es'hail2 but this is only for the QO100 System and I receive it with -80dBm till -90dBm on my radio receiver well it is only 2,4kHz wide SSB Signal. Hahaha and no Video.

with 1.5m or 1.8m or 2.4m in Vienna, most likely u would get the signal

 

[danny10]

I'm a short distance from Vienna. Maybe 2.4 m, but definitely not with a smaller one. 3 -3.4 m stable reception maybe..

Very tricky beam, to give you an idea, in south east of France, you need a 2m dish for this beam minimum !
I was able to locked it with a 1.8m dish during a clear summer night ...

 

[Captain Jack]

It's an odd beam. It's stronger in Southern UK than it is in south of France...

 

[AtOM13]

Exactly same situation on 8w with 10-11mhz frequencies, nothing here (12mhz ok on 100cm dish !)
In comparison, Eshail1 25.5e is ok here with 100cm dish
