[QUOTE="7mdish, post: 1148346, member: 401140"] I had no dishes in 1985, my first one was four years later, in 1989. However, as I know, the main satellite used in the 80s for major events feeds from the USA to Europe was Intelsat at 34.5 West. Please note that in 1985 Ku band was in its earliest phase, so most feeds between different continents was in C band. I do not believe that 34.5W satellite had Ku band transponders in its payload. In Europe, EBU was beginning to use 10E and 7E for european feeds during that period, in addition to its terrestrial 2 GHz feeds. Ku band feeds between USA and Europe began in the late 80s. For example, I remember EBU transponders at 27.5W and something at 18.5W (both Intelsat), and strong signals from the USA at 45.0W too (Panamsat 1). [/QUOTE]
