17.3°E AMC-14 (incl.)

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    AMC-14 (inclination 18°) has moved from 29.5°E to 18.2°E, and seems to be testing now.
    A strong carrier at 12435 was noted while AMC-14 crossed the belt at 16:40 UTC today. Dish was pointing at 17.5°E to avoid 19.2°E interference. Signal quickly decreased of course, 15 min later gone already in spectrum.

    Got it, thanks hvdh! :69:

    Strong spike on 12692 also


    PS: don't pay attention to the polarization

    Today it's insane: almost all L transponders are active!
    Still no locks for me, 12268 L reached 7.5 dB, the others are weaker.


    Meanwhile, I listened to the ARD radio transponder on Astra 12266 H via the T-55 dish, it declines at least 1 dB for 20 minutes.

  • Scan of the day.
    Thanks hvdh

  • This is the real DX challenge.


    Satellite is running away from position, every 1 minute is correction needed.


    Here is a complete scan , with dep. plate in.


    Only transedit shows some content,few TPs have data , others only null packs.

    marval450, if you want more time to investigate, put up a (temporary) dish pointing to the highest or lowest "turning points"!
    In the graph below, there is 15 min between every dot. At the turning points there is much less motion, as we see it from earth.

  • hvdh-I know ,that the satellite is moving slower around turning points, but inclination is too big for my mount.
    I can get around +4 deg. to -13 , 15 ? Maybe more after some modification ,but doesnt worth it ,I think.


    I have twin LNBs everywhere,so I can tune my dish with F15 and analyse with TBS. :70:

    AMC-14 still seems very active, maybe using the full 12.2...12.7 GHz band?
    But here, much weaker than before, only a few dB's during the pass 10 minutes ago (12253 R 20825).


    Yep! My "NO LOCKED" scan only in linear.

  • My todays complete scan, best signal was aroud +2,5° inclination.
    4 TPs locked .


    I will try again later when AMC will be few ° under equator.


    Only test carriers on all TPs :72: I think.


    Edit:I changed picture of scan with more locked TPs. :70:

    Is it already over 3.5 years without checking this one?
    But maybe nothing changed since then.
    During the belt crossing, I saw almost the whole 12.2...12.7 GHz spectrum raised so probably all txps are still on.
    Here, Crazyscan found just 3 "no locked" ones: 12224, 12253 and 12384, all SR 20831, 16APSK 5/6.

    I hope, not to forget it, but I want to try next time, because I cant´t reach >4° inclination from this position...


    • Offizieller Beitrag

    Checked this bird today morning.


    Inclination at scan time ~-20° (according N2YO.com) - linear scan here, sorry.

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    I´m "on the flight" with AMC 14 this morning... :100:


    -11.4° incl. at scan time.

    Wow, you can go to -20° inclination with actuator, or manually pointing the dish?
    I wonder where the signal is strongest, maybe the footprint will change a lot depending on inclination.


    Looks like only the R transponders are active/received this time, or the L ones are weaker.

    Hi hvdh,


    indeed, on this position (18°E) I can go "underground" (inclination up to -35°) with my EGIS rotor... :83:


    Btw. signal decreases (on my place) when inclination was near/on "0" (checked on +1.6° inclination at "lunch" time).
