activity on SES-6 (40.5W) Ku-band

[Jim S.]

I've never seen anything on this satellite before, but this weekend I found a transponder on 11053 H 20000. I think it's data because I'm not getting any channels, although it could be a weird modulation because the quality keeps going up and down. Anyone else seeing anything?

Not showing up for me with blind scan, 90cm Fortec Star w/ Titanium PLL-1KS lnb.

Weird. It's possible that my dish is off the arc a little, but I'm not aware of any adjacent satellites that beam to this area. (It is definitely NOT off far enough to be 45W or 37.5W!)

Titanium PLL-1KS tunes 11.7-12.2GHz, so it is below the frequency range. You would need a Universal type LNB with LO 9750 to tune 10.7-11.7GHz range.

Thanks for reminding me...

SES 6 doesn't have a North American beam per se, but has 3 Western Atlantic transponders that cover parts of North America, mainly the Northeast. They are:

10,995 H
11,075 H
11,155 H

Each is 72 MHz wide. Perhaps that is what you are seeing?
