Can someone post a strong vertical and horizontal transponder for Hispasat? I'm using a 1.2M Prodelin dish with a single polarity LNB with a CoolSat 6000.
30.0W Signal

Yes it is also V as well as H.
Also very strong,
12133 H 27500
12093 H 27500
Check with Satbeams.com and make sure you are in its footprint and Dishpointer.com for proper aiming.

I found 2 problems. First the dish doesn't go low enough. Second I tried the feed assembly on a dish on 91 and nothing. Is it possible for a feed horn to go bad? I am certain the LNB works because I tested it on another dish. I'll post pictures tonight.
My 1.2 didn't go low enough in the 'standard' arrangement. Sidewinder' fashion works great. 30W is only 6.4° above horizon. Didn't go inverted to prevent snow buildup.
Here's also a pic with a 30 inch I tried in the inverted arrangement (worked just fine)
Went back to using the 1.2 to combat weather induced fade.
Bug nest inside the feed throat??

30w must be quite low on the horizon up your way?
The face on my dish is actually pointing down slightly off vertical.

You are fortunate that your dish will go down that low. I actually had to tilt the mast when trying to get the sat at 8W.
You're right about the "healthy signal" I'm amazed that it does so well with my 25" dish.

My elevation for 30.0W is 16, like jorgek I will try tilting the mast because I thew a circular LNB on it and swung it around and hit 129 with it at its lowest. I tuned it to 91.0W with a circular LNB and put the original back on and got nothing so there is also something wrong there.
