My Satellite Setup
1.5M Gibby Dish 62E-40.5W ,75cm for 52.5 Turkman SAT,
+ Long 60M CT125 cable run , TBS 6983 , TBS 6922.
My Location
West London 51.45 N
Getting 7.6db in West London with a 1.5 M Dish.
5/6 FEC makes it a little harder to keep a good signal.
Not much rain fade headroom and the signal is a little stronger in the mornings.
Around 8.2db on a clear weather day.

Nothing here on 12284 V 27500 Badr-5 West African beam (If the beam moves to the right by a few degrees I would get it with a 100cm) :rolleyes:

No chance of a larger dish, William?

I am toying with the idea of a 125cm Gibertini OP125L motorised for 36 east to 36 west
to replace the 88cm mesh dish with a lower profile say 3 feet from ground level behind my fence to cut down the wind resistance 1 will also have to remove the mini dish from this pole & probably set the 88cm up as a fixed dish set up for 28E+19E+13E +5E.

Nope :-( 12.284 showing 5.6db on dr hd d15.
This is strange - I am not far from you and I am sure the 1.5m should be enough to pull this in.

Re thinking dish size for these transmissions in my location is probably going to need a 240cm dish :eek:
So I will put it on hold for now,

Just cleaned the 88cm mesh with a cloth & WD40 looks as good as new for 18 years old that ain't bad no rust at all:),
26 east reception with the 88cm:- 9 transponders = 71 x tv

It will be interesting to see what I can receive if & when Badr-4 moves from this location.

@FORKS is in West London and is receiving this TP with 7.6dB on his 1.5m Gibby dish. You're not much further...

Other transponders on that I used to receive from Badr-4 that may have migrated to 5/6/7
Maybe other members in the East of England can check this please.
