Getting good reception of Vertical Beams on Thor 3 but nothing on Horiztonals.

Fringe reception again?

I don't have a 1W capable dish ATM. Thor 3 is never normally possible for me, any which way.

Well done remlap on what you are picking up at your location, V & H transponders from Thor 3 are no problem to me here, east anglia.
O/T. Aljazeer, east beam on 42east still strong signal. You seem to be getting more off of 21.5 east than I do. I only get 11972V and 11560H.

RE: Thor 3 yeah you would be closer to the intended beam coverage mate.

RE: Al Jazeera English, possibly miss labeled as just a weak West beam?

RE: 21.6e 11972 doesnt exist I dont think the closest would be 10972 will Baghdad TV.

Cheers

RE: Your sig BlackHawk 53e what is easily accessed for you there, ive never been that far East before, my current limit is 45e-45w used to have 58w but my 90cm dish needs realigning and probably moving to ground level.

When the leaves start growing on the trees, I tend to miss out on 53east. I have a very good view of the arc from my location. Motor is fixed just above head height on a scaffold pole concreted into the ground..
