I am getting really poor signal below transponder 21. Is anybody else seeing this?
 
It was reported the uplink center (Gilbert) had severe storms and part of the uplink to 110 was out.
 
3:41 am (Central Time) on July 25th, and my 110 reception has been poo
for the last couple hours. My satellite strength is bouncing between 0 and 48.
I believe it was sitting steadily at about 105 signal strength before these
problems this night and last. I'm relieved to hear the problem is at the up-signal end,
and it's not a new random bug of the 811. God I hate my 811 so bad.
 
I've noticed that 110 is not running as hot as it normally did. Usually on Tp 11 I would average around 103-104 constantly. Now it is running around 100 or 99. 119 is not affected...it still is coming in at 119-120.
 
Isn't this the same sat the drifted out of alignment a month or two ago?

Could it be sunspot activity?
 
I notice from time to time that some transponders will lose strength as others will gain strength. Maybe this is due to the fact that these satellites do drift a little causing the center focus the dish is set at on the satellite is seeing a different part of the satellite than it does other times.
