[turbosat]

I'm a MN Duluth Bulldog fan (the national champions in hockey and D2 football) but do like to watch a Sioux game now and then

 

[Cadsulfide]

Thanks for the update, a Buddie has a 1.8 set up just for FSSN will re-point before the season starts....

 

[Keith Brannen]

They are doing a satellite test right now:
AMC3 (87) 12016 V 4879

 

[Mr Tony]

12016? Coordinates say 12095...but we know last year they did the same thing and be off

 

[dhageremtp]

87 West, what was it on before? Wondering if I need to adjust the dish.

 

[FaT Air]

For years it's been on 91.0°W Galaxy 17. Looks like this year it's going to be on 87.0°W AMC 3.

12016? Coordinates say 12095...but we know last year they did the same thing and be off

I don't doubt it may change freq a couple of times like it did last year.

 

[Keith Brannen]

12016? Coordinates say 12095...but we know last year they did the same thing and be off

Yes, 12016, the test ran at least from before noon until around 12:30 EDT. At the bottom of the screen it said "satellite test, engineers call..." Could be it was just to line up dishes and the frequency was a on-off, and the 12095 will be used from now on.

 

[Mr Tony]

good point...that might be it

 

[Mr Tony]

For years it's been on 91.0°W Galaxy 17. Looks like this year it's going to be on 87.0°W AMC 3.

sorry but no it hasn't. They've switched a few times
03-04 was on 95W (still have the piece of paper that says that)
04-05 was on 95W
05-06 was on 95W with bad results
06-07 was 89W (1st year of what was IA8 now G28)
07-08 was 93W (12031 V 4880)
08-09 was 91W (12187 V 4880)
09-10 was 91W (12024 V 4880)

 

[Mr Tony]

1st game tonight

 

[siepo]

Hey Iceberg. Was wondering if you can help me get some good insights on FTA. I am a family man that would like to provide for my family and in these days it's getting harder. Your insights would be greatly appreciated. I am really green at this. HELP PLEASE. Thank you and God bless.

 

[FaT Air]

Iceberg, Yeah, you're right.(Brain fart here) And I thought today was Friday up until a few of hours ago.(Yikes, another one)

 

[FaT Air]

UP on 12016 V 4879

 

[Mr Tony]

[Mr Tony]
