Hi Drew, I monitored the "S" band downlink for the UK 1536 hrs pass at my location here in Wales. The max elevation was 33 degrees with some screening due adjacent trees Even with my moderate equipment I heard a number of European stations whom I pleased to report were quite strong, some 5 -9. Glad to report the good news following your switchover, a big thanks to you for all of the time and effort that you put into keeping everything ship shape. Regard to all.
