Hello everyone.
I have a problem with Intelsat 3R @ 43.0 W
I can get great signal from Hispasat 1C/1D @ 30.0W, Telstar 11N @ 37.6 W and Telstar 14 @ 63.0 W and I can track the rest of the entire arc just fine all the way west as far as I can go (used to get the test card channel from 148 when it was there). However, I have problem pulling in 43.0 W.
I never have been able to get a really good signal from this satellite.
I started out with a 76 cm Winegard dish over on the west corner of my house. I could barely capture a signal from this sat there, so I thought the signal might be occluded by a line of trees or the house, so I moved the dish to a new location. That didn't help much, so I bought a 1.2 M dish and placed it in the most optimum location that I could find. I still have poor signal Q from this satellite.
Now I know that there are no interferences (no trees or buildings or hills) and I have a 1.2 M dish which can pull in sats which are further east and west of 43.0 W, but I have such a difficult time with 43.0W.
Sometimes I get a feed channel to come in with a booming signal, but the channels that should be there consistently are difficult to dial in.
I would like to know if anyone else is having good luck dialing this sat in and where you are located, approximately.
A few years ago (about 2004-2005) I did pull in Dr. Dish and Telefoggia. Since then, I have not been able to pick up a signal from that TP (12.050 H). I have picked up on El Canal de Casa on TP 11998 V and it was the channel that was very strong for me (in the upper 90% region) but I have now lost that channel, too.
Not only have I lost the channel, but I don't seem to detect the TP carrier signal either. I have tried very deligently to dial this sat in, but don't seem to make any good progress.
I wonder if YOU are getting this sat to come in on your system.

have never been able to get 43W on a 76cm here in MN.....guess dish is too small
Ice,
With the footprint images below, you can see how borderline we would be with a 76cm dish either near your location or mine.
A few years back, I had my DS-2076 dish set up with my Coolsat 5K and pulled in a Ku band feed channel from 43W that showed somewhere around 87-93% quality. I think that they must have been transmitting with very high power on that particular channel.
What I would really like to do now that I have a GEOSAT pro 1.2 M dish set up and dialed in quite well, would be to set up my 76 cm dish again, with an identical motor and LNBF and receiver and compare the results side by side.
This would provide some very useful information, I think. Personally, I believe that the Winegard DS-2076 dish design is a lot better that anyone gives it credit for. I think that many may scoff at its size when it is actually a pretty amazing antenna by design.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Some wild inflation and significant uptick in earthquake activity in the caldera. Magma intrusion, could lead to new fissure(s). Or not.
Summary: A shallow intrusion of magma is occurring within the summit region near the existing eruption location in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
Activity Summary: Earthquake activity has increased in the summit region of Kīlauea beneath Halemaʻumaʻu crater and the south caldera region. Ground deformation patterns recorded by summit tiltmeters suggest that magma is intruding beneath the ground in this area, in an east-west orientation, near the western or southern part of Halemaʻumaʻu crater.
Increased earthquake activity began this afternoon, September 30, 2026, at approximately 2 p.m. HST, underneath Halemaʻumaʻu. Since then, about 40 earthquakes have been detected and activity is still on-going. The largest event, so far, a magnitude 3.4 earthquake, occurred at 9:52 p.m. HST, 1.4 km (0.9 miles) beneath the surface in the northeast part of Halemaʻumaʻu. Starting around 8 p.m. HST., summit tiltmeters began to show extremely rapid changes consistent with crack growth in an east-west orientation possible near the current vent area, suggesting that magma is intruding in this region.
Historically, east-west trending fissures have erupted in the southeastern part of Halemaʻumaʻu and extending through the Keanakākoʻi crater area all the way to Chain of Craters Road near Lua Manu. The last east-west fissure in this area erupted in September 2023 and extended from the middle of Halemaʻumaʻu to the eastern wall just beneath the Keanakākoʻi overlook. An event of this type is also possible under current conditions.
Currently, there are no signs of a change at the surface as the existing eruptive vent complex in Halemaʻumaʻu, including the north and south vents, continue to intermittently spatter with strong glow and flames; however, conditions could change quickly. It is possible that this event ends without reaching the surface or it produces a fissure eruption in a new location within the summit caldera region.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.
