Hello Nigel, Well it was your turn today to end up in the 'centre cone.' And, Cyprus was almost on the line of 'total sun/satellite/dish co-linearity.' Regards, John |

Hi John, Many thanks for that confirmation - I had a very sharp dip in signal strength, link margin etc around 12 noon UTC, that I hope, indicates that my dish is reasonably well aligned! See :- http://www.nigelheasman.com/mrtg/SR1/inwin_mrtg_sr1.html Regards Nigel

Nigel,
I found my Python script from last fall and updated the dates for spring 2023. According to those calculations the dip yesterday was (should have been) at 11:44:02 UTC. Looking today at the sun elevation you can check during azimuth passing time how much free space you have between the hill SSW of your antenna and the direction to E10A. Cheers, Ernst |

Many thanks for that though, Ernst. Today's outage was a little bit less than yesterday. I missed the
actual time, so couldn't check the clearance over my local hill,
but reception is still working OK, thank goodness, despite recent
undergrowth! Regards Nigel
