I didn't understand why you ( N_Stanislav ->edit by qwer) didn't scan at 11200-11400 HV. I would have wanted you to check 11262 V, 64000,1/3. Although I locked at a weak signal, I'm not sure if it is also active, or if the two polarities overlap because they are not perfectly delineated.
I would like to know your signal on the sub-band transponders,10700-10950 HV.

Flat spectrum there.
Yes, this satellite works within small spot beams. But how you explain that you and i receive same tp? According spots map, no any spot that covers both our locations.

Yes, this satellite works within small spot beams. But how you explain that you and i receive same tp? According spots map, no any spot that covers both our locations.
For example, in my area, the signal on the vertical transponders comes from other spots than the horizontal. Unfortunately the interference at 11400-11700 on both polarities does not help me to analyze the real signal level on both polarities.
Even if we find the same trps in our areas, it doesn't mean that the same spot covers the signal at the same level.The impression that we are under the same "umbrella" is false because you receive the spots with a 2.7m antenna, while I receive (the same) the spots with a 1.50m antenna. That means you have a better chance of picking up signals from neighboring spots, not to mention the smaller or larger signal fluctuations that sometimes help us pick up transponders in our area, such as those with Russian programs, which I receive sporadically.
If it's as you say, i.e., the same spot covers our remote areas, you should also be able to pick up transponders at 10700-10950 HV and 11200-11400 HV.The signal on 11387 HV,64000, is very strong in my area, but it's not in yours. In this case, your big antenna doesn't help because the signal is in my area, not yours.
Unfortunately, not many TV/radio programs are transmitted on this satellite so that we can orient which areas are targeted by the signal.
For example, Radio Al Ghad is in northern Iraq, and yet I can still receive it, but I don't see the transponder 11486 H,1000 on your spectrum, even though you are geographically closer to the spot. I don't even know which one it is.
Of course, the explanations about signal coverage in zones can not be objective; so many physical factors compete with its reception that what I say now must be viewed with reservations, especially as this satellite has many cells. For this reason, it can probably be directed.
There are so many anomalies in signal reception that there's no way to explain them, and if they're not in our area, all the better.

Since 59.7°E Ovzon-3 is co-located with 60.0°E Intelsat 33e, probably Ovzon-3 has frequency ranges that IS-33e does not have.
These are 10700...10950 and 11200...11450 MHz. I found 3 strong data transponders there, and a few weak unlockable ones.
10852 V 40000 ACM/VCM 8PSK 8/9
11262 H 64000 ACM/VCM QPSK 1/3
11387 H 64000 ACM/VCM QPSK 1/3
The 0.3° difference is enough to distinguish between the two, I'm pretty sure these 3 come from Ovzon-3.

(I posted this earlier today at satellites.co.uk)As at other positions on the arc, when we didn't know if we were on one satellite or the other, you were always a kind of "compass" showing us north. Now, we need to find out what waters we're swimming in, i.e., the footprint of this Ovzon-3.
Following your precisions, I will post the transponders from this satellite in my area, which confirms what you have found.
The only doubt I have is if both transponders,11262 H and 11378 H, are also active on Vertical polarity. With my small antenna and the conditions under which it works, I cannot be sure that both polarities are active.
I say all this because I am unsure if my lnb is correctly delimiting both polarities. Therefore, I would ask other enthusiasts to check whether this is a mistake or if the spectrum is correct.
Here is what I found at this moment at 59.7E:
(Probably a topic dedicated to Ozvon-3 will have to be opened.)

Thanks hvdh for your explenation and satesco for your try...
FYI: I´ve started a new toppic here... copied hvdh´s report and merged/copied satesco`s august-findings and merged N_Stanislav answers about these frequency ranges from 60.0°E toppic...
From my place on 2.2m I get these ones:
10711 H 3500
10727 H 4000
10852 V 40000
10911 V 40000 - no lock (using TBS 6903)
11262 H 64000
11387 H 64000PS: Started a new GS list here...
-
qwer good. For me this satellite unreachable
-
-
My scan. I can't get 10711 H and 10727 H to lock with manual SR.
I think more beams are at play.....
You must check if 10805 H,25000(on your spectrum) is at 60.0E or 62.0E(?).
That mux is strong in my area at 62.0E. -
Yes, 10805 H was 62.0°E, I get the same 3 transponders on 62.0°E as you posted, just 2 dB less.
-
Not the satellite is a problem, I think the steerable transponders

I have just scanned this position with EBS lite and my 125 cm dish.
Missing the 11486 H with the 2 radios.
The spectrum with CS lite looks a bit strange. May be i will post it later.

-
I know, but i was able to receive the two radios for a longer time.

satesco I asked Flysat to make a Ovzon-3 entry and he moved 3 of your previously reported IS-33e transponders there!
