Radar's Reception Research Reflections
ADVERTS 1
I was researching some of my satellites and TPs this morning to ensure that I was receiving all the TPs that I could find listed on such sites as Lyngsat and Satbeams and here on our forum with "THE LIST".
Reflecting on the subject matter of some recent threads that I have read and posted to and some recent requests for information, I was curious if I could come up with an interesting and informative "post" and how that would look as a finished product.
I am just going to dabble here with one satellite and ask you all for your impressions. I begin with 30.0°W Hispasat 1C/1D. No specific reason to begin with this satellite other than it is my furthest eastern satellite that I can achieve and the one that I happened to be experimenting with at the time.

EIRP Charts for 30.0°W
Attached are the EIRP charts for Hispasat 30.0°W 1D America's Beam. The chart for Hispasat 1C and 1D are virtually identical, so I won't post both in this case.

Hispasat 30.0°W 1C/1D Transponders set 1 of 3
Here I will list the TPs that I am currently aware of from Hispasat. I will display the settings and signal/quality level indications from my AZBox Premium receiver as a screen shot from each individual TP. Some TPs show no quality levels. A few of these are feed TPs and not active at the time that the screen shots were taken. Some others I do not have an explanation for.
These readings were taken using a 1.2 M GeoSAT Pro antenna, an Invacom QPH-031 LNBF and the AZBox Premium in the area just 40 miles NW of Omaha, NE USA.
There are 21 TPs that I know of that are deemed as "Americas Beam" and these are what I will display (three posts).

These are the settings that I have configured for this satellite for my specific equipment using the AZBox Premium.

RADAR's personal settings on AZBox
This is a screen shot of my own personal antenna and LNBF settings for Hispasat.
Your settings may not be identical depending upon your switch, motor and LNBF used. I included the screen shot here simply so that you can see how the menu structure appears on the AZBox.

Finale~
Well, that is about all that I can think of to post here on this subject.
I could include some screen shots of some of the videos, but that really is useless to anyone unless it is a really neat shot and then it is just for fun and discussion.
Please tell me your opinion. Do you think that if I were to compile a set of posts nearly akin to this, one for every satellite that I can receive, would it be helpful to the forum? Would it be informative enough to everyone to make it worth my time and the time of others in different locations to do this?
Today, I am just doing this for fun and experimentation. The entire process required about four hours of my time, so it isn't a quick thing. However, I was going through all the steps for my own purposes anyway, so I thought that I might as well log it and take these screen shots as I went along for your benefit as well as mine and then share the information.
If it is just "neat", I probably won't repeat it, but if there is at least one person here that really finds it exceptionally helpful, I may repeat it again for another satellite and maybe for all the sats that I can receive.
And, if it is important for any others, maybe someone else will join in and do the same for the satellites that I cannot receive.
What do you all think?
I guess the downfall of this is that much of the information applies only to me, to my specific location and my specific equipment. But, it still might be helpful in some ways.
