Those appear to be on the euro beam, and they are bl00dy strong!

The fec is 7/8 not the indicated 5/6 - Nabilosat v0.6 doesnt display the higher fec properly (5/6 displays as 4/5!)

The strength is comparable to the powerful Ukrainian signals on 11766H 27500 3/4 - Im currently getting 92%/89% on that one.

I'll be interested to see how the Nordic beams perform.

For comparison Im getting 78%/85% BER 150 on 11881H 27500 3/4 atm

Just been checking the Sirius 3 transmissions & I can get the H polarity frequencies but not the V polarity stuff, so any improvement in the V's will be great for me!
