Telstar 12 Vantage.

I have a batch of channels at 11653 H (sr 6000 3/4). Any idea what they are as there should not be anything on that frequency (Express 14W has Russian on the opposite polarity but it's not that)

That is from 14 west this signal is much stronger here that 15W 11652 H 6000 3/4 DVB-S2/8PSK is a AOL data stream.

The 11036V Globecast OSN Backup 11036V has now disappeared from the North Sea Spotbeam.

The BBC Satback backup service now transmitting on the spotbeam on 11043V (currently coexisting with the service on 27.5W).

only UK beam?

They don't need to downlink the service to anywhere other than in the UK.

 

[Satfaca]

Gents, please check these carriers and advice your location & gain, it would be to establish the beam used.
Based on my gain they are presumably either on MedEast or MedWest, however it could also be from further away (NorthSea or ME North).
I am getting these weak locks with a 2.4m in central EU (SI).
11.184 H - 11.295 H - 11.663 V

Nothing received here on those frequencies (35 miles south of Edinburgh in southern Scotland)

 

[Satfaca]

OK, it is not North Sea.
Anyone from Spain and Greece/Turkey to report?

PSK change to our disadvantage

...

Try in the Constellation monitoring window at Search Range, under Frequency, to choose instead of 1 MHz to 3 or 4 MHz, that way, you have more chance that the signal will be locked, especially as 13dB on 11043 V.

No change to lock.

It has been a lockable QPSK, but it seems like the service is bundled in a data transmission now.

Cheers - it was a very strong signal here last night so when it had gone awol today my first guess was the modulation had changed away from something my little old Technomate could cope with....

 

[mapperuo]

No lock here either

 

[satesco]

No change to lock.

Also, try a hard lock, i.e., lock one of the adjacent transponders, check the Update modulation info (down left) and BlindScan, and then change the frequency to 11043 V. Repeatedly, you can also uncheck BlindScan.
If you have several cards, try them.
Probably they are testing the modulation

90 cm motorized antenna.

 

[Satfaca]

Bingo, thanks.
So this is MedWest (Eurospot 2) then.

 

[pipino]

just an add-up

 

[Satfaca]

From the plan only 11.663 V doen't fit, planned to be on EU beam but can obviously be switched.
