ASTRA 2D in north of Romania

Today I tested succesfuly ASTRA 2D and I got all the V polarization with:

150 cm PFA
Inverto flange 0,3
Kaon 570
HOHER mini Tv/DVD














The strongest signal I got it on SkyTravel and the lowest o ITV's I will monitorize it the following days

fantastically!!!

I thought in the time that would be impossible......

best regards and more successful actions!!

It is kinda unbelievable...

You must be a lucky one that lives in a 2D hotspot.............

It's amazing that the V's compared to the H's is so big there. I really wonder if a 5m could get a sniff of them.

Thanks for congratulations Deepbluesky ,Kleinraisting , Muad'Dib and others

When i spoke with DxBozoth on skype he hold me that there is no signal on H polar with his 4,6m PFA dish that he uses to get all the tp from Thaicom.

He put a measurment device on it and noticed some veru weak signal..I will ask him again about Astra2D.Razvodnik from Serbia with 3 m PFA got only the V polar tp too, no chance for H polar...

In Romania there are others who try Astra2D, one is on my region called bonou2 from Baia Mare QTH : 47°40′N 23°35′E and I will asked him the situation.

Here http://forum.softpedia.com/index.php?showtopic=571987 you can see the results of Dani70 from Cluj Napoca QTH: 46°46′N 23°35′E with his 6 paneled 1,9m PFA dish and the same Inverto IDLP-SFLANGE 0.3dB got the V polar only between 12-16 and 21-22 (GMT+2) only.
The strengh of the V polar tp are the same for e and Dani70:

10876 V 22000 5/6 , the best
10848 V 22000 5/6 ,
10818 V 22000 5/6 ,
10788 V 22000 5/6 ,
10758 V 22000 5/6 ,
10729 V 22000 5/6 ,
10906 V 22000 5/6 , the lowest

Even if it sounds foolish I will try the H polar between 12-16 and 21-22 (GMT+2) .I'm dissapointed 'cause I don't have a measurment device

Here are some photos with my dish that I use it :

I know that DX Bozoth did not see anything on the spectrum from the H's doktorofsat but there might be big differences also inside of Romania. If there are more people with huge dishes from other parts the country (i.e. at the Black Sea coast) i would try to ask them testing roughly the same time. Probably there is a chance to get the H's like in SE Aegean where the V's also are much stronger. Microchanges in skew can be rather helpful on this very critical satellite.

By the way, nice skies colour you've got there
