Nilesat 102 ceases operations @ 7 west all transponders moved to Nilesat 201

Nilesat 102 is @ 6.5 west moving east end of useful life heading for the junk orbit above the Clarke-belt.

No signals here in the UK from Nilesat 201 @ 7 west with a 100cm dish so the end of MBC 11938 V 27500 from this location,

Still getting MBC channels from Badr-4 @ 26 east.

Still getting 12130v 27500 in the evenings under clear skies and some picture breakup. Is this still on 102 beam?.

Possibly as Nilesat moved to 6.5 west then moved back to 6.91 west a couple of days ago,

Nothing here from Nilesat 102 or 201 with my 100cm,

I used to get MBC 11938 V 27500 24/7 until last week,

What size dish are you using Coastman for this your 180cm ?

Getting 12130 V 27500 from 7 west now strongest I have received this transponder for a couple of years 52% quality on the 100cm Gibi,

This must be due to only 5 transponders operational giving more power to this transmission,

Nilesat-102 moved away from 7 west last week to 6.5 west now it is @ back at almost 7 west http://www.n2yo.com/?s=26470
I wonder what they are playing at ? maybe decided to wait for Eutelsat 8 West B to launch in August .
