Can anyone give a positive identity for the Russian satellite occupying
the Statsionar 4 position (14 degrees West/346 East) and broadcasting
Moscow 1 Programma across Europe in C-Band (3.675 GHz Right hand polarity,
SECAM)?
It was (and may still be) Gorizont 15, but I recall reading that this was
to be replaced by an Express series bird by now. Anyone know?
Info is needed for technical section of a book on satellite for language
teaching. Any help gratefully received - UK satellite magazines are
rather unforthcoming on C-Band.

There is a new satellite, Loutch, located at 16 degrees west. This satellite>It was (and may still be) Gorizont 15, but I recall reading that this was

has Ku band, and the only active frequency listed is 10.835 GHz. Again,
this frequency is outside the "normal" Ku range. I do not have the C band
listing for Ghorizont, but one of the 3675 MHz high power transponder should
have Programma 1 on it. It used to be the one at 14 degrees, but it might
have jumped to the one at 11 degrees.

The C-Band 1 Programma service was definitely still on 14 West until the
other day at least - our faithful Drake receiver decided it wanted an
overhaul. However I gather it's not unknown for the channel (or other
versions of it) to appear on 11 West and other Gorizonts.

Ghorizont at 11 degrees confirmed channels:
3675 MHz Circular Pol. (don't know what direction)
OITV Russian International TV
TV audio @ 7.00 MHz
Radio audio @ 7.50 MHz
(Please note that this channel is below the LNB input and above the LNB
output with an IF of 1475 MHz. Eurosat receiver should work fine)
CH 6 (with a bit of fine tuning) Circular Pol. (direction?)
Goodwill Games feed Path 3
The signal strenght is about the same as Worldnet on Intelsat 27.5
degrees.
Also spotted several colorbars and one program channel on Telecom at 8
degrees East. Signal levels a bit below Ghorizont at 11 degrees. All the
above signals were received on a 4.5 foot dish with linear feedhorn!!!
