Die Satelliten des Sirius Systems für Nordamerika lassen sich auch in Europa empfangen, da es Baken gibt, die im europäischen Troposegment senden. Auch in Ost-DL ist der Empfang möglich, auch wenn die Sats zum Teil nur knapp über dem Horizont stehen.
Hello all; for information here in south west Europe we use 2320,100 to
2320,300 cw/ssb portion of 13cm band for tropospheric , AS , RS, traffic.
I have been told by Piero I5CTE
there is permanent continuous carrier beacon around 2320.190 MHz (+/-
doppler) by 1 of the 3 Sirius elliptic NA satellites.
It appears reception is very good here with small 20 turn helix
antenna (in spite of 12m heliax coax) peaking 539.
Apogee (50000km ) around 325deg with 27deg elevation.
F5BOF reports same signal with small hand held 25 elements f9ft yagi.So these are for us very interesting beacons. Depending hours we can receive 1 o 2 sats.
Real time positions (Sirius-1 / Sirius-2 / Sirius-3) here:http://www.n2yo.com/satellites/?c=33
Any info about beacon sat polarisation and eirp ?

Hello all; here is an EA5 webSDR with 2320 MHz and 10 GHz reception:
http://maxiplaya.dyndns.org:8901/
Here, direct 2320 MHz reception is ok with AIDC3733 2400/144 converter (ex
AO40),
reception on 64 MHz (instead of 144)73 de Michel F6HTJ
