which satellite for reference?

[Matrix10]

You can see my receiving with 78cm Triax
Mostly screanshots for difficult reception satellites
Location: Belgium / Netherlands
With very, very precisely tuned antenna
What is not easy, if the location does not allow it.

I forgot to say
it is also possible to make the finest antenna tuning (East/West) without changing the physical position of the antenna.
by little changing Longitude in Recepcion Settings of tuners
Let's say if the calculated Longitude is 0.8
you can change approximately max + - 0.7 in order to achieve maximum.

For larger deviations you have to physically/manually move the antenna to the the correct position.

Changing the Longitude can be done without making any physical adjustments and works well as a test.
My experience with changing the Longitude has been that the signal of satellites may improve on one side of the arc, but ay decrease satellite signals on the other side of the arc. For this reason, I think it is best to fix the problem rather than enter incorrect settings other than as a test.

Generally not
for such a small change of +- 0.5
But changes of 0.5 are already evident after
short or long time after placing the installation on pole.

Of course, big changes influencing the change in trajectory in relation to the orbit.
Then is the inevitable mechanical tuning.
The biggest reason for stronger signal on one side of the zero position in comparison to other side
is the mount / pipe that is not 100% vertically installed.

Some reference channels with a strong signal
with precisely tuned antenna.

Antenna Triax 78 cm
position N/W EU
Box Solo2 image Open BH
cloudy weather
Rotor HH120
Coax cable +- 7m

ok changed dish angle, now get 30W but no 28.2E???

pole alignment wrong do you think?

Sure

Again

That's all is millimeter job.

will correct tomorrow and update.

Ok finally got around to sorting it out, get 30w now and 28.2 but 4.8e only get when I adjust longitude manually via box longitude should be 1.500w have to change to 2.000 w to get signal on viasat footbal, sure I got signal with viasat extra PL 1 onwards before but not getting a signal at all now.

VU+ Ultimo - alsat dark motor - 80cm satellite dish

all sorted, some of vhannibals channel list doesnt' work for some reason
