1.5m IRTE PF, Octagon OSLO external Ref., TBS6983,
Various L, S, C, X & Ka bits. 1.2m S/X/Ku/Ka Prodelin on Az-El (being refurbished)

My kit only goes down to about 17.6GHz and is linear polarised. I use Norsat 9000HX-03b-BN and modified Gilat band B LNBs on a 1.2m Prodelin. So far the only things I have found are the beacons on Mentor 4 (44.1E incl)
& Mentor 6 (52.8E incl).
Both the above are very strong and can easily be seen using Crazyscan. The transponders on these satellites seem to have very wide band spread spectrum and cover about 18.1-19.9GHz.
There are data TPs on the Band E MENA transponder on Es'hail 1 (25.5E) centred on about 17.765GHz. They are about 200MHz wide. Since I was using a linear feed, I'm not sure if there are one or 2 signals (one on each pol?). They can't be seen at all on Crazyscan and are way below the level needed to lock. (Thanks @hvdh for identifying the source)
