Same here Radar, didn't get a good signal until around 12:45pm Eastern. Now it's in the 60s. 
:rant:
I notice Dee Ann has made a post concerning RTVs well being. I headed there now.

Dee Ann,
We have been tracking RTV in this thread. Take a look, it might help.....then again, it might not. :rant: :rant:

You would think in this day and age they could invent something more reliable.
It's already been invented.....and is known as C-band!
All hail the mighty BUD!!!!

They have it's called C band. C band does not get affected by rain fade. I will loose 1 ONE quality number during the worst rain storm on c band. This is why most professional uplinkers use C band. Small time operations usually go to ku because of cost. RTN uses C band for there S2 feeds it's only there DVB-S ones that use ku.
hmmmmmm....
Well... To be honest, I've sort of become complacent and bored with all this now.
I'm sort of thinking that I'm sort of maybe wishing there was more stuff up there to look at but, I dunno.
Still wishing I had a motor on one of those things so I could look around at other satellites.
Finances just don't allow for one this month though. Oh well.
I still want to go back and ask those people about that monster dish I saw out in the woods.
I don't know how I would even manage such a thing but I'll bet I could get channels from Jupiter with that beastie.

It's a whooping 69% at 3:45pm EDT here in Indiana. Does anoyone know about what time it weakens? I usually don't get home from work until around 1 am and it's strong then, but I don't get up until around 9:30 or 10, by then it's gone.

It's called fiber...
fiber optic cable. allows for lots of bandwidth and is expensive to lay, put a lot of it in, years ago for the local cable company when they first started upgrading with fiber to the hub.
Diamond Jim,
I cannot place too fine of a point on the time, but when Walrus and I were experiencing the problem with LEO-1's signal interfering with RTV(RTN), it was just at about the time that you stated that you got up for the day. Somewhere between 8:00 am - 11:00 am CDT.
The signal from RTN has always been weak for me here in eastern Nebraska, even with my 76 cm, 1 M and now my 1.2 M dish. I haven't had any problems with the signal this summer, abeit weak, until just recently, within the past several weeks. Is this about when you and Dee_Anne began to notice this, as well?
I am placing bets that another signal is obscuring the RTN signal into the noise floor. Already being a weak signal, it does not require much interference to drown it out.
RADAR
For what it's worth, I was at my Grandparents from 11am to 3pm PDT
No problems noticed with RTN/RTV on 83W
Receiving via Geosatpro 1.2m and DVR-1100c
Quality was the usual 63%

Oh! LOL! I thought maybe it was a kind of satellite dish, like fiber glass kind or something..
Well, they sure don't have anything like that around here. Maybe Houston or New York. It'll be 25 years before they get anything like that around this podunk backwards part of the world. :rant:
fibre is a satellite guy's enemy...lots of sports events (and Dee I know you hate sports but some of us got FTA for them) and having it fibred is evil
Most sports are fibred (NBA, MLB, NHL)....college usually isnt. Some is though
