Strange C Band Occurance

[Diamond Jim]

Went to IA8 to view the Fighting Sioux Sports Network and was running though the channels on the Satworks and when I got to the WB channels they came on. I thought I was on G11 until I looked at the 922 and saw T4 (IA8). I changed polarity and went to FSSN. I have two other channels programed in with the WBs but they didn't come on. I put the WB back on and switched to GB(11) and it came in with the other two channels. So, the WB is on IA8 with the same numbers that it has on G11. I don't see how this can be, so I hope someone can shed some light on this. I will check again after the game.

Some really strong transponders on adjacent satellites can bleed over. When I scan SBS6, sometimes I get that GBN on AMC6

I noticed with the Coolsat it does that. When I scan AMC2 (85) I get that crazy guy thats on AMC3 (87) in the 5 different languages.

I scanned the FSSN yesterday and got 2 news feeds from G11 (really low signal)

The real pain for me is Satmex 5. Whatever you do, you keep getting bleed-over from Echostar's abomination next door at 119w.

Okay, I take the "abomination" part back... I do get some great audio as well as NASA from there

I know about bleed over, I get a lot of it with weak analog signals on G3 with IA6, nothing watchable. I don't think this was a bleed over, the signal was packing 41%.

Not doing it now, must have bee some kind of cosmic fluke.
