My Satellite Setup
Dr.HD F16, TBS 5927, T-55, Laminas 120 cm
My Location
Oss, NL (5.5°E 51.8°N)
H2Sat stopped at 13.25°E.
Co-locating with ComSatBw-2 (that is also operated by DLR), which moved a bit from 13.2° to 13.15°E.
Probably only Ka-band will be used, being so close to 13.0°E HotBird.

That's a shame. It was perfectly placed for setting up polar mounts here. I presume it's Ku TP and beacon can not be moved, they are on occupied channels now. I'm not sure there ever was much on the TP, the only thing I saw was a carrier. Here's a plot from May '24 showing the carrier and the beacon.

I also never noticed anything more than the beacon in Ku-band.
Seems that with the relocation, adding Ka-band to this Bundeswehr slot has become priority.
