Testcards

[Channel Hopper]

Some festival. Wales is a bit far from the central beam though.

I'll link to the proper section.

Edit - Something interesting (C band DXers only) tonight on 68.5 East.


Frequency - 3845
Polarity - Vertical
Symbol rate - 3250
Symbol rate - 3/4

My outlook to the horizon is obscured by two trees about 300m away, but this should be a catch for anyone in central Europe with a 2.4m or above.

Colour bars should start in the next two hours.

Totally beyond my reach this far East....Hope someone grabbed snaps..

Bollix - yet another thread with missing pictures that needs sorting.

And I see the index got fritzed up in the software transfer so a handful of 2009 posts have appeared in the middle of 2012.
