Yes agreed, D1 has gone past 152E and is still moving west according to my tracking app.
The position at the time of typing this message is 151.32E based on a fresh TLE file released by NORAD today.

This afternoon I found 10 -12 tp's from a bird east of IS 19. No pc's no tags. lowest tp 11621H s/r 7500. Highest tp 12686 H s/r 9999. LNB is Uni. Skew of LNB for these was at 7.30 (o'clock also got result at 4 o'clock & 6 o'clock). The Rx/decoder is GT Media V8 XS2 Will keep blind scanning for pics and tags. After saying all this I'm not convinced these numbers are not crazy spurs of off IS 19.

Beechmont Range Qld.
East of 166.0E could be 169.0E or 172.0E, they both have active carriers 24/7.
There is a 24/7 active ACM carrier on 172.0E at 11621V with SR7500, it scans in every time I run a scan. Your 7:30 o'clock skew scan would have this on H
For both of those satellites the LNB output connector is at the correct skew at around 4:00 o'clock. However, with a Universal twin probe LNBF you would probably get signals at 07:30 with the true polarities reversed. Both 169.0E and 172.0E are high powered satellites and there is a bit of tolerance on skew so your LNB skew at 6 o'clock is definitely possible but would probably have some cross polarisation in the mix.
If you peak your dish on the 11621V carrier with SR7500 you should be on 172.0E.
Then, if you want to try for 169.0E it is halfway back on the way to 166.0E
What size dish are you using?

Yes thank you I believe I'm on 172 bird and seeing data tp's. 15 were there this morn. They come and go.
So I will track the dish back ha;f way toward 166 deg E. Dish size ATM 68 cm. I will increase the size to 90cm. My 3.7 M solid dish is sitting on 166 deg bird. Thanks again.

After moving dish back half way between 172 & 166, towards IS19 now getting tp's 11614 H s/r 22500 & 11674 V s/r 22500.

I have 11672V with SR22500 from 169E but that is from a dish located in WA, I think it is from the P2 beam that covers all of Australia. The slight variance in frequency compared to your 11674V could be from the LNB L.O. From your location in QLD you will probably also be picking up carriers from the U13 beam that covers South East Australia which accounts for the 11614H with SR22500 that I do not receive.
It sounds like you are on 169.0E.
According from my Sat Track program as from 9/5/23 the Long of D1 is 152.4666923. I only update the TLE minuter ago but I think the TLE its 0.3 a day old
5GRUBBISHThat site I have been using has updated and now shows a slow down on May 5 and now has the sat at 152.057.

I think that site I used had no new data for a few days and assumed the same travel.

I always get those two from 169e and a few more on the upper band.After moving dish back half way between 172 & 166, towards IS19 now getting tp's 11614 H s/r 22500 & 11674 V s/r 22500.

11674v and 11614h are your confirmation for 169e.

It looks like D1 has reversed direction and is now almost stationary at 152.0E.
They might fire it up soon for testing?
The beacons should still be active for detection by anyone with a spectrum analyser and a dish on 152.0E, beacons are listed below.
12243.25 H
12245.25 H

Thanks to those posting the TP's for 169E, has helped hugely. The pan was so small between 166 & 172 it's amazing there's another satellite in there... Signal pouring in 85dB+ on just a 65cm Gold Coast... LNB was the issue in that slightly lower band.
Just wondering if anyone knows what sort of dish size might be needed in Melbourne? Reason I ask is the coverage map seems to have an "eye" of lower signal covering there? I have tried the map on Satbeams but can't get it to indicate dish size for there.
All areas in "the eye" zone you refer to are indicated by Satbeams as needing a 48cm dish, moving out of "the eye" zone back into the full power zone the dish size is indicated as 40cm.
Please note these dish sizes are based are theoretical maximum levels of signal for the zones. The broadcasters cannot exceed these but they can certainly reduce the signal level making larger dishes than indicated required.

Check now the 11ghz band for a possible race feed from Cobram
Feed confirmed
11274 H Sr 7500 "GMA006"
currently active
What sat are we talking about?
H3e 169E
H3E 169E 11274 H Sr 7500 "GMA SNG" Feed active
Friday
and there will be more on the Weekend
Sunday
H3E 169E Feeds
11274 H Sr 7500 Parkes Horse racing
11061 H Sr 7500 Casterton Horse racing
Can anyone make sense of this? 11061 Casterton feed scanned in and worked fine yesterday, but 11274 Parkes feed wouldn't scan in. When I had my meter on that frequency the SNR was jumping all over the place into the teens and back to zero. At the same time it was completely stable on the Casterton feed. I played with the dish and skew but nothing helped.
Now today the live feed is coming from Victoria on the exact same frequency 11274 and is completely stable. Since nothing has changed at my end, am I right in thinking there's something up with the feeds coming out of NSW? Anybody else had an issue? I'm using a 1.2m & Uni LNB in SE QLD
