My 70% Quality was midway between Brodeaux and Toulouse. Also on 80cm.
Are you close to Agen?
That is quite a difference then for only 120kms further South!
No look at 32800.
Almost 200kms, would that make much of a difference?

ParticipantThe tighter the beam, the more rapid the falloff at the margin.
The tightest beam known is most likely a laser. At the margin you go from full power to zero in next to zero distance. Beam shape doesn’t have to be perfectly uniform either. 2D had a known lobe focussed on Gibraltar giving UK channels on a much smaller dish then further North on the Spanish Costas. It will take a while to get a better idea as to 2F’s real footprint. It’s not early days, it’s the first day

InactiveJust rechecked – yesterday 100%/70-80%, Today 100%/90% steady.
ITV London 1N 100%/100%
Wonder why the difference? Solar flares?
Paul – what have you got today?

InactiveHave not done manual scan, I assume with Humax Foxsat change was automatic, if so all booming in for me here (100%/100%, 80cm dish).
