[QUOTE="brother9, post: 1029045, member: 411346"] TODAY -at last- it was not raining, so I went onto the roof and did some adjusting. Well nai IMpossible! After going up the ladder some 25 times, I now got a signal quality of 85-87% on BOM (11503H1667). Guess what on 11491V7522 (Castilla La Mancha): 90% signal! and 87, 85, 87, 80,.... but only for 1/5th second each time, with intervals of 4 to 12 minutes. After 11 p.m. 30%, 21, 26, 25, 23, 90!, 26 etc.... but more frequently: every 2 to 3 minutes. I know I am NOT supposed to get this station, but what is going on technically? I get a strong signal (90%!), but only very briefly. Why? Do they change to low power at night? Is the satellite rotating? The signal almost is like a lighthouse (Sp. un faro): the beam lights up the antenna and has passed. A different question: has anyone ever picked up signals intended for (or from) North or South America? [/QUOTE]
