Isle of Wight 10 GHz repeater tests

[G8GKQ]

I'm pleased to report that G8MBU's personal ATV beacon on the Isle of Wight is back on the air, and giving good signals into Southampton. Other reports welcome.

Please note the new frequency (in preparation for full repeater licensing): 10.235 GHz FM ATV.

Thanks Bob!

Screenshots this morning - slightly lower signal strength due to rain.

Been out this morning looking for the signal on the new frequency.
Signals not as strong as before, had to move up and down the road to find the best spot.

Tested again this morning, signal strength is improved, but not as strong as the first tests on the other frequency.
However, I think with improvements this end a P5 picture would be possible, only using a small sky mini dish for these tests.
