---------
TB3 started on transponder 17, 4.125 GHz, Rc, his broadcasting, one day
prior to the official announced date, on the Express 6 satellite. A
sound carrier is featured on 6.60 MHz, an little unusual frequency on
this sat.
The reception quality is superb in Cairo.

------------
Kasachstan TV on transponder 65, 11.550 GHz, H, has again improved in
reception quality in Cairo. The picture now always locks on in color,
the sound is quite clear.

HOT BIRD 2, 13 East, SATCO-DX: http://www.satcodx.com/hb2.html
----------
On transponder 52, 11.766 GHz, V, appeared today on the superbeam RAI
International, with a TV sound carrier on 6.60 MHz, and a radio station
featured on 7.36 MHz. As per Christian Lyngemarks SATCO-DX info's is it
a one day performance only, for Italians abroad. MPEG 2 transmissions
are expection on this transponder.

Comment: So why not switch for this day to the widebeam ? All
transponder can be switched to either of the beams individually.

The reception is poor in Cairo, lots of sparklies, the sound is very
noisy. The signal level received are 25% below that of Polonia 1 on
transponder 53, 11.785 GHz, H.

Happy NEW YEAR !
