I made a cross-check, when I moved my antenna to 26°E the signal is much weaker (where I have BADR-4 transponder at maximum). I had my antenna previously around 24.2°E and can rotate it in 0.1° steps.. It might be a few tenth of a degree more east now, but I tend to believe that also the power level was increased..

Code
0 ES'HAIL 2 1 43700U 18090A 18364.65569281 .00000147 00000-0 00000+0 0 9997 2 43700 0.0339 155.6625 0001896 186.4463 17.8747 1.00470638 594According to the last keps, let's take them for good, the satellite is now at 25.21°E and according to these keps Es'hail-2 will reach 26°E by 01-01-2019 at 04:40:28 UTC. The previous keps gave to 31-1-2019 the achievement of the final position. Unfortunately (or fortunately) with the fixed antenna @26° I can not look for a better signal but the one that register is a constant increase of the signals.
Now I go to sleep, I put the blind scan, and when I wake up I see if I've caught something.

Dish pointed at 26e and again strong signal.

The satellite has moved quite a lot the last two days! It is closing in on its final position. I have to choose a different pointing as well now.

Cool, You have done a good job. Today I have been started Minitiouner Sw, with MiniTiuoner Express, but I wasn't able to decode signal. In this version I cannot see pads to able the LNB power supply. >My version is a bit different compared with the pdf... But I tryed to use a bias tee, unforunately today I haven't a power supply of 16-18 v to obtain the right polatization (Horizontal). Okay I will try next days...
Bye ...Hope to see you on the bird.

hi,
here is the jewel acquired in La Louviere (B) and made by DC5GY, i plan to use !
any technical comments ?

defintely not, Dec. 31st 23:28UTC on 25.88E now moved back to 25.72 and now again around 25 .80. Seems that Sat is looking for the right parking slot. 10.706 GHz is 20dB SNR

Yes, a masterpiece from DC5GY. Bought this several years ago in Friedrichshafen. SWR on both bands OK. Not in use due to the missing converter 10G to 430 MHz. So acutally lsn with KUHNE LNB. +

I can confirm it is not (yet) at 26e but slightly west of it (2 clicks on my H2H rotor).
Reception of 10.706 when pointing to 26e is becoming worse due to the noise from Astra2 at 28.2e DVB-S signals that are very strong here (probably a lot less in countries further away from UK).
I even see an increased noise level on the amateur transponder frequency when pointing to 28.2e and dropping off around the position where Es'hail-2 is now.
(not very much, and below the noise from the transponder I have seen before, so likely nothing to worry about)
As Es'hail-1 is at 25.5e and there is no clear statement about the Es'hail-2 position on their website ("the 25.5e/26e slot") does anyone know if it in fact will be at 26e or at 25.5e?
Does not really matter for the TV viewer but may give just a little more protection from Astra2.

Antenna realigned. Signal intensity back to what it was before.

Happy newyear
Today i checked the ES-hailsat EB beacon on 11205 mhz vertical
And can confirm that it is on 25.5 heading for 26deg

No sign of that. Please, when you notice some signal do local procedures to confirm that it is from a satellite.
(rotate the dish, cover the LNB, switch the polarisation, etc)

Remco: I have the dish pointed at 25.5 degrees East.
Yesterday the signals were:
10706 -75.9 dBm
11205 - 72.2 dBm
today :
10706 -70.8 dBm
11205 -64.5 dBm
.. is coming ....
