How strange, even with your huge dish! I don't even understand how illumination works, but something tells me Turksat will handle that with closing the TPs.

Not a sniff here in the UK, which is odd, as the main wide beam covers the UK perfectly!

Still nothing here, guessing it's on a Turkey beam.

Been having a search here this morning with 2.4 Channel Master offset - in North West U.K ....
not a hint of signal from this position ...
I do have locks from "Trinitas" at 31.5 E
and "Sudan Tx" at 30.5 
though.

The currently published footprints are quite vague, hopefully there will be more detailed ones soon. The other Turksat positions (42E & 50E) have West, East and Turkey beams, I'm guessing this ones the same, and the current signals must be on either the East or Turkey beam.

It should have the following beams: West, East, Turkey, Germany, MENA, West Africa and South Africa.

LNBs with 11.745GHz local oscillators are now appearing in the Middle East , presumably for the Turksat 5A bird.
I've seen both universal type and single polarity WR75 fitment in the past week, the latter looking suspiciously like Swedish Microwave canisters.
Will update when I find the source.
