52E (TurkmenAlem/MonacoSat)

Now est beam is full covering Iran, they have changed beam coverage...
 
It seems that there is a signal in Western Europe, but I don't know from which spot, West or East, because both cross the continent.
As shown in the spectrum in my previous post, there is no signal in my area.
Could someone from there post the signal spectrum that @deeptho and Analoguesat observed?

Here is a spectrum of today. Did you check if your lnb is still working properly (on other sats). I see that you still have some reception,
so it is unlikely, but I have seen cases where the LNB has some difficulty to start properly, and then after a while starts to work. That could then account for problems at the start of a spectrum scan.2.webp

You are probably covered by Sidelobes (my location also has no signal from 52E at 10.7-11.45)

Strangely, on March 6, I had a very good signal at 52.0E, and I posted this at #94, as usual, averaging over 13dB, but on March 11, it simply disappeared on Iranian muxes.
Meanwhile, the bombings in Iran have intensified, and, as announced by the press agencies, the infrastructure, especially communications, has been greatly diminished.

That was the explanation I gave myself when I saw that I was no longer receiving any Iranian muxes. Now we also have photo/video evidence of this disaster in Iran.

My confusion was aroused by your report and by Analoguesat'report that you have a signal in your area. I told myself that it is possible, but not necessarily, that you have a signal from the Monacosat satellite (it is no coincidence that it is in tandem with TurkmenAlem at 52.0E).

However, I have since learned that the Iranians have repositioned some of their spots so that the areas most important to them are covered. That means Central Asia, the Middle East, MENA and, of course, the western part of Europe are home to a large community of Iranians living there.

So, I don't think it's the antenna and/or the LNB that I don't have a signal at 52.0E. Other enthusiasts in my area also have signal problems at this position.
I have since learned that the IRIB package and Iranian muxes at 62.0E have also disappeared. I haven't had time to check this.

It is clear that Iran cannot afford, in wartime, but especially after the massive destruction it has suffered, to provide so many services on multiple satellites at this time.

In this situation, the lack of Iranian programs at 52.0E also has collateral victims in Europe; I am thinking of those who watched FTA Premier League soccer matches.:)
 
Ok here is my current received power readings on on an overcast evening here in the Scottish Borders

Right hand figures in dB according to my TM receiver) & ignoring the Alem tps (as 16ASPK is beyond my receiving capability) & anything known to be on the MENA beam (I have never had any reception at all from that)

10721V - 12.1
10762H - 7.3
10762V - 11.5
10804H - 12.0
10845V - 6.9
10887V - 11.6
10926H - 8.6 (returned since last night)
11221V - 6.4
11420H - 5.0
11420V - zero
12265V - 12.5
12303V - 12.8

Hello from Italy. Here it is a recap of active channels displayed on10762 V 27500 from Persiana cast WNS. All channels are receivable in center italy Snr between 8.6 and 13.9 db

I think the uplink is in the uk because this operator is linked to the iranian regime opposition (shah Reza Palavi-simaye azadi channel on 10887 v 27500)
in the next screen the dismissed transponders

11221 V 27500 seems to be the strogest one and the only one to receive, at least for me here in Romania with 1m dish. 3.5dB with some BER, picture not stable, but i'm glad to catch some signal :)
 
East Beam is right now as weak as never before.

I can confirm that. The East Beam is significantly weaker. Channel 10721 V is switched off. I cannot receive channel 11420 V.

Towards evening, the signal strength increased significantly for me. However, I can't receive channel 11420 V. I think the data transponder on channel 11408 V is interfering.

It is now possible to receive the European package on which the Uzbek package is broadcast: 10887, 10845
 
And other 3 frequencies are on West Beam with different coverage
 
Signal is back also on Romania with small dishes, all frequencies from east beam are receiveble again.

Some reffs from V8UHD with Mars:
10720 V 4.2dB
10762 V 12.5dB
10762 H 12.6dB
10804 H 14dB
10845 H 12.6dB
10845 V 11.7dB
10887 V 11.6dB
10926 H 10dB
11221 V 13.8dB
11382 H 6.5dB
11420 H 7.3dB
11420 V 5.7dB

May be moved to West Beam...
