Now I'm really pleased - AFN 1 West

[antenna1]

No mail received.

i think it should be the same
because of low freqency.and around 900 km ,distance,ist nowting for the cband

i dont heare many cband reports,how strong is each freqency in each country!
when the distance are more,then there is a diffrence,but i think rcn is the best you can try!
you get my mail in the meantime?

realy,then it goes into the spam,i send out on the same day,when you stil need the cband stuff send pm!

Hi Antenna1 ..
Yes I receive around 80-90% of European transponders on 40.5W depending on weather conditions.

Sadly nothing at all from 43 west ..
and I have no line of sight for any C band birds East of 1 deg West ..
I'll make you a list of the C band sats I can receive when I have a chance.

I'm located close to Manchester ..

ok I'm adding the list of Cband sats which I can get signals from :-

Intelsat 10-02 at 1.0°W
Atlantic Bird 3 at 5.0°W
Express A4 at 14.0°W
Intelsat 901 at 18.0°W
NSS 7 at 22.0°W
Intelsat 905 at 24.5°W
Intelsat 907 at 27.5°W
NSS 10 at 37.5°W
NSS 806 at 40.5°W

Just an update ..
I can now add :-
Intelsat 903 at 34.5°W
...to my list ..
Managed to pull in KNR (3714 L) today ..after some dish tweaking and some time spent locating this bird.

Still no sign of anything from Intelsat 11 on 43 deg West...
Can anyone tell me what the strongest signal transponder is for the UK ?

I'm thinking I might have to wait till the leaves fall from a tree which may partly obscure this point in the arc.
..Odd though ..as I can get KU from this location.

I'll keep trying..

Hello Vipersan,

I am sure you know, that @43,1°W is an linear working orbiter as 37,5°W and not with cirkular signals as 1°W, 5°W or 40,5°W.

But in deed, 43,1°W is not so easy to catch. But I can´t say, which signal is strongest in UK.

Good luck!
Edgar.

Thanks for the reply Edgar..
Do you know if there is an 'optimum' time of day for reception of this bird ..
I do find that some sats appear to peak around certain times
