Default Is 61°W still radiating towards EU?

Can someone check 61°W, 12561V, 27000 and see if the data transponder is still available on the EU beam. Having just put up a 1m Gibby and swapped the LNB from my 80cm I'm a bit concerned I can't see it although it's been a month or so since I last checked it on the 80cm dish.

While I'm at it what sort of signal is to be expected from Kanal D on 62E 11176H 3333 using a 1m dish? I'm getting 74% on my SS2 unfortunately ground noise rises from 65E so it seems that slight incline to my east is high enough to block anything further than 62E.

Cheers

Paul
