A chance to align your dish with a rare signal from this fairly inert Cband Bird ..at least over the UK that is ..
Caught a testcard from a transponder not even listed at Lyngsat ..
3673 R 3906
Also Racing International is quite strong atm ..but encrypted of course..
3961 L 2960
tp 54 Racing International
Ghana TV now on
4026 R 5004 but 8PSK so wont lock here ..
Perhaps one of you will have more luck ?
I'm averaging 6.5db to 7db ..and that's insufficient for lock
good luck

thanks for info VS tried this morning raining at the moment the racing channel is showing 49% no lock ZDC is weak,did get this channel on my old dish looks like i have to fine tune it a bit more,the only transponder i get is 3810R 16000 looks like a data channel.
