    Changed the title of the thread from “29.5°W Intelsat 904 (incl.)” to “31.5°W Intelsat 904 (incl.) (relocated from 27.5°W/29.5°W)”.
  • ...just on the way too find this satellite... but I cannot verify, if this one is Intelsat 904 (incl. at scan time 0.76° north and moving rapidly south) or if it is Intelsat 25 (incl. at scan time 0.59° north and also moving south)...

    Big peak on 4192 on both circular poalarties... probably this one is linear... I cannot remember about this one.

    /edi1t: Not sure, but probably it´s from Intelsat 25 (?) - incl. now 0.48°N - because I only had to move few steps elevation more south.
    Intelsat 904 - incl. now 0.14°N - much more south than before...

    /edit2: Now Intelsat 904 is under 0° (I 25 at 0.40°N) and peak on 4192 is nearly lost, even when I try to find via elevation setup...strange :28:

  • 4192 MHz must be from a normal transponder, not TT&C.
    If linear (vertical), it's IS-25. If circular, it's IS-904.

    Location: Oss, NL, 5.5°E 51.8°N. Rx: Dr.HD F16, TBS 5927.
    Laminas 120cm 1°W...68°E, T-55 9/13/19/23/28/39/42/45°E.

  • Big peak on 4192 on both circular poalarties... probably this one is linear... I cannot remember about this one.

    Thank you hvdh :73:

    I´m still in circular-mode and checked situation again while both satellites are more than 1° in different inclination elevation.
    4192 is too weak at this time and probably only "visible" on Intelsat 25 - on both polarities - so it looks like linear vertical but I had to check it again when I´m back on linear setup next...
