42E on Sky Dish?

tdv123

Hi, I read thats it's possible to pick up a number of TP's on turksat with a 60cm sky dish.

I'm having no luck at the moment. I get about 75-80 strenght but only about 25-30 quality. The dish elevation is around the 15 degree mark.

7.2W, 9E, 13e, 19.2E, 28.5, all work fine on it.

on FTA receiver btw.

I'm fairly new to this stuff but my guess is you'd need a bigger dish for it

Hope this link might help you out somehow http://pt.kingofsat.net/beams.php?s=9

I have a 110cm dish so no problem for me. Strongest TP at present is 11804 V 24444, if you can't get anything on that one then you need a bigger dish.

I don't think you could be getting anything on 7.2 West, 8 West maybe?

Thanks for reply.

Maybe it was 8w. It was defenitley around there as i have the main sats from 28.5- 4E marked out & it was a good bit past that.

Is there any other sats past 28.5 that people have luck with that might be worth taken a looking at it?

This is a list of strongest transponders compiled in the south of England recently by William from the Alsat forum. You should be able to get some of these sats, you could start with Astra 3 and Thor 5.

snaps

the west beam on 42 east is very strong. You should have no problem getting it on a sky dish. Now the beam is very low elevated and the skew on the sky dish could be your problem. I used to get 42 east no problem at all on a 60cm mesh dish with a modified lnb (for the skew). Problem i had was a tree that grew to tall, the satellite is one of the lowest in the sky for us westies to receive.

Agree with snaps, skew on Sky dish may be your problem. The skew range is usually limited by the plastic mount so you may need to loosen and pare off the plastic keying to get more movement.
