Re: TP 1 SNR this morning - 09:00 + UTC.
geojohnt@...
Jan,
You have a real problem with your system.
With a 110 cm dish in your location you should be seeing an SNR of at least 13 + dB.
Regards,
John.

Hello Stephen,
Thanks for that.
This confirms my now reduced SNR from the higher level this morning.
Best wishes,
John.

Re: TP 1 SNR this morning - 09:00 + UTC.
geojohnt@...
David and Douglas,
It seems I spoke too soon!
My SNR is now back to normal at 15:50 having just come in.
13.1 dB from the steady high of 13.5/6 dB earlier.
It's become cloudy here now but not rain clouds at the moment.
I reported our increases to Ops and they opened a call.
However, KP is away till the 12th so we probably won't get a reply till then.
Regards,
John

And so true! the back-up connection provides a greater sensitivity than the standard up link.
Here in Italy the snr at 15.15 utc and returned promptly as described in UNS Eumetsat, at the previous levels of -0.5db less Stephen. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: MSG-1@groups.io <MSG-1@groups.io> Per conto di Douglas Deans via Groups.Io Inviato: mercoledì 6 novembre 2019 14:51 A: MSG-1@groups.io Oggetto: Re: [MSG-1] TP 1 SNR this morning - 09:00 + UTC.

Hi Had the same thing happened to my eToken, tried different USB ports with the same results. Reinstalled Windows and all the drivers and nothing I couldn't find out what was wrong with it. Luckily had a spare etoken to use

Re: TP 1 SNR this morning - 09:00 + UTC.
Yes John I have also seen a good rise in both TP1 and TP2 signal this
morning. Needs to hold for a bit longer to verify exact results (and during stable weather) but my rise at the moment seems nearer 0.7 to 0.8 dB SNR up here in Scotland. Frankly not before time.

TP 1 SNR this morning - 09:00 + UTC.
geojohnt@...
All,
I hardly dare to say this but under clear sky conditions my TP 1 SNR on the SR1 receiver is up 0.3 - 0.4 dB from 'what it should be' at this time of day.
The SNR is also rock steady.
Power is, as always, steady at - 25 dBm.
A couple of times so far this morning my SNR went to 13.5 for short periods.
Rather a long way from the good old days 18 months ago when my SNR was 14.2/3 dB.
However, a step in the right direction if someone is tweaking the uplink and/or satellite attitude/parameters.
Regards,
John Tellick.

Re: New EUTELSAT satellite....
geojohnt@...
Hello Thomas,
Er well, for me it's a bit lost in 'the mists of time.'
We started off on Hotbird 13 degrees east with DVB-S.
Then if I recall correctly moved to E9B and then E10A.
The move to E10A may well have been when DVB-S2 was adopted?
Anyway, there were 'reasons' for moving satellite's, possibly commercial.
E10A Europe wide beam max power contour 48 dBm.
E9B Europe wide beam max power contour 51 dBm.
E21B - EUMETCast backup satellite Europe wide beam max power contour 47 dBm.
E9B has far less Ku-band transponders available than E10A as it's transmissions only starts at 11.727 GHz to 12.476 GHz.
Where E10A has the full Ku-band transmissions from 10.732 GHz to 12.680 GHz.
Best wishes,
John

David,
Ah, yes, I saw the info about the mix of transponders but missed the 'end of life' for 10A.
Fingers crossed, a direct transfer - and/or capacity on 9B instead of Eutelsat 21B.

John.
Oh, yes, well, Lewis Hamilton might have his 9th by 2023?

Re: New EUTELSAT satellite....
David,
I've had a look around but can't find any technical spec for this satellite yet such as power contours, just press releases. I would imagine it would have a bit more uumph than 10 A being a new satellite. However, new satellite, more uumph, more money for a transponder? With EUMETSAT already having capacity on Eutelsat 21B I suspect they wouldn't take out new capacity on 10B. Depends I guess on whether 10A continues in service? Regards, John. ========================================= The article says: "EUTELSAT 10B satellite will carry two widebeam C- and Ku-band payloads, totalling 32 36 MHz equivalent transponders1 to ensure continuity of the missions of the EUTELSAT 10A satellite, whose operational life is scheduled to end in 2023." Lewis might have his 8 World Championships by then! Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk Twitter: @gm8arv
