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.

Right now, this afternoon, I am not picking up any feeds at all so they must not be broadcasting anything.
