118.7°W Anik F3 with 1.2m

**knowmiddlename** · 11-05-2009 01:54 AM

Is there anyone solidly receiving the affiliate stations on 118.7W with a 1.2m dish? I've tweaked up everything here and still have some minor pixelation.

In this thread: Circular to linear and all that jazz... we modified a linear LNB to pickup this satellite, but in the end there were only two FTA channels

He's talking about C-Band...the former "Equity" channels that are left

Thanks for the reply, but I'm referring to the C-band signals provided by KQCK/KQDK. These channels barely lock in this morning. Another 4-5% increase in SQ should make things stable on the CS5000 using a 1.2 meter dish.

46Q on my 1.2m

Maybe that extra EIRP bump helps

Thanks for pointing that out! Do you have any signal breakup? I see Ohio is in the red and Cali is in the yellow. I think another dB or two would do the trick here. Any suggestions other than getting a larger dish?
