Advice Needed Hardest satellite

[Gladstones]

It’s better to launch a own satellite in the space.

What’s wrong with Eutelsat 10 it has disappeared from last few days.

Nothing wrong with it, pics 'ere no problem.

If you wait until it's out of fuel and is in *very* inclined orbit, then it may rise above the horizon. But easier to just drill through the Earth. Or move the Australia.

Theoretically that would be an interesting experience - aim a dish due north to try and get signals off the bird then due south to get it at the other end of the swing

Even badr4

Receiving full arc from 30w till 55e including badr 4 which is hard to get here
But still no sign of 10 e
Even disconnect loop out
Any advice

Check later this afternoon to see if it has returned, if not, get a bigger dish.

Bigger dish ?
was receiving it 80% with 100 cm dish 3 days ago
What’s your approx location

What’s your approx location

Surrey.

 

[Gladstones]

Surrey.

Midlothian and Surrey is in sane footprint
if it’s nothing wrong with satellite then it must be weather or dish has moved a bit.

If the dish had moved you would expect other satellites to be out or weaker, check previous signal levels on known sats.

No, Gladstone.

All others are bit weaker and I assumed it’s weather
Certainly not trolling
No reason for that

 

[jeallen01]

Yup, the weather, especially "wet stuff", can make significant differences in reception, especially for sats that are normally quite weak in good (clear, no cloud or heavy rain)

 

[speedy_04]

see the weather plays havoc here as it does dictate whether or not i pick up 4w. most of the sat's I pick up I do get pretty easily and that includes 10E no matter the weather is

 

[Gladstones]

Got 10E back now the strange way it’s on 9E position and it’s signal quality is 90%
I think dish moved very little and 10 E was always there but I was looking at 10E even did not find it half degree less or more
9E is coming same time 100%
First time came cross such a thing before the bad weather 9E & 10E was showing on their own positions.

 

[rodscha]

I m using lines drawn on the soil ,and move a steel plate on which the pole & dish lie;
9E and 10 E usually show a slight difference;tried them today & noticed the difference is almost not there...one must have drifted towards the other so it seems

 

[Gladstones]

Yep looks like 9&10 hugging each other
Not much on 10 anyway

Depends what you want. Not much broadcast tv on 10E but there is lots of other interesting stuff if you have the correct equipment. Feeds galore, Eumetcast weather stuff etc
