PBS signal on 125w

What happened to the pbs signal on 125w?? I got 57% signal while last year i got 77% on my geosatpro 90cm. Same place , same setup same equipment, what gives?

Nothing looks changed here on a 1.2M. A guy in another thread is reporting a problem also. Not sure if it is just coincidence, and you both are having local issues or what.

Some people in other forums are reporting less signal since pbs is gone from 103w c band.

Earlier today I reported on that other thread that Montana PBS was at 60 and the PBS mux was at mid 80s. Just checked and Montana is still at 60, but the PBS mux has dropped down to 63-65, so a drop of about 20 in the eight or so hours since the other report. Picture is fine on both transponders, but am seeing the same drop, which, hopefully, is temporary!

Bad weather at the uplink location perhaps?

Hopefully that's all it was. Signal is back up, not quite to yesterday's level, but that can be accounted for by the rain we have been having.

Just hoping it isn't a day/night repeatable fluctuation we have seen before on the PBS mux and more so at one time back in 2014 when OETA was on the satellite.
