[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 1006351, member: 312276"] Hi all! Time to bump this thread again, as outage is started. Owners of "pan-lid" size antennas can feel it already. Owners of "Barn-door" (I like it) size antennas should wait couple of more days. IPTV (stream users) can relax as they will not have any opportunity. Anyway, it is still time to do the necessary preparations for some useful observations and experiments. I am preparing to record signal levels from 16 satellites during sun-outage. Will repeat it 5 times, when maximum outage will be 1st of March. For that I made template with known data about maximum interference time for each satellite. So, will start recording some channel from 90*E at 07:40 February 27th. Record will be stopped at 08:04 and antenna moved to position 85*E and another channel will start to record. And so on. When I get all the data will use it to create some graphs for better visualization. To have more interesting results, I think, it is better to chose transponders with higher FEC, like 7/8, then effect of outage will be greater. Of course, I will not be sitting in front of the TV all day pushing buttons on the remote.... :-rofl2 Will pre-programm the receiver and let it work turning antenna, switching channels, recording video and signal data. Will use 1.2m antenna for all satellites except 28.5*E where "Barn door" :-ohcrap will be used. If it is sunny then will probably take some photos. [/QUOTE]
