Leo Stouten is a 74-year-old satellite enthusiast living in Leuven, Belgium who has been receiving satellite signals for over 30 years using a variety of antennas and receivers. He currently uses a 1.2-meter motorized Gregorian antenna that allows him to receive satellites from 70° east to 60° west. While he has had some issues with motors over the years, his current setup is working well and he is able to receive signals like Nilesat at 7° west. In his retirement, Leo remains actively involved in the satellite community and attends industry trade shows.

The document describes a low-cost and inconspicuous method for receiving signals from multiple satellites using a small antenna array. It involves using a foldable table base turned on its side as improvised antenna poles. Four small prime focus flat antennas are mounted on the poles to receive signals from four satellite positions. The entire setup takes up little space, is lower than the balcony wall and hidden from view. It provides reception of over 2200 TV and 440 radio channels without a permanent installation and avoids issues with landlords.

Ingo Salomon became infected with the "DXer virus" after acquiring a 1.8-meter satellite dish in South Africa in 2003 to receive Arabic channels. This led him to install dishes for neighbors receiving French and Senegalese channels. Today he operates an AutoScan station tracking multiple satellites to maintain international channel lists, while continuously experimenting with antenna designs and configurations across his multi-dish "antenna farm".

The document discusses satellite reception in the Ka-band frequency range and provides an update on developments. It acknowledges mistakes made in a previous issue by showing incorrect satellite spectra. The text then provides the correct Ku-band and Ka-band spectra for various satellites and notes that only one consumer LNB is currently available for the Ka-band. It reports that some success has been achieved receiving signals from African providers via Eutelsat satellites, but that low symbol rates and scarce Ka-band LNBs present challenges. The Ka-band remains an interesting new area for satellite enthusiasts to explore.

This document summarizes an optical LNB invented by Global Invacom. Some key points:
- An optical LNB converts satellite signals to a digital light signal and transmits it via fiber optic cable, avoiding signal loss issues with traditional coaxial cable.
- At the end of the fiber optic cable, a gateway termination unit (GTU) converts the light signal back to a format readable by satellite receivers.
- This allows for much more flexible distribution of satellite signals to multiple users without signal attenuation problems that plague traditional coaxial distribution methods.
- The optical LNB has significant potential to simplify installation of larger satellite reception systems serving multiple users.

The document summarizes a product called the Stacker/De-Stacker, which allows two satellite receivers to share a single coaxial cable connection. It works by combining the signals from two low-noise block downconverters (LNBs) or a Quattro multiswitch into one cable using the Stacker device near the antenna. The De-Stacker then separates the signals again inside the home so each receiver gets its own independent satellite signal over the single cable. Testing showed the system was able to transmit clear signals over long cable runs up to 115 feet with negligible signal loss.

Diego Sanchez Rosende in Tenerife, Canary Islands is able to receive signals from two American satellites - ECHOSTAR at 298.5° east and AMAZONAS at 299.0° east - with large offset dishes. He can receive 4 transponders consistently from ECHOSTAR but needs a larger dish to receive more transponders or decode signals from AMAZONAS. His western location near Africa and high elevation of 800 meters allow him to receive these satellites, though a larger dish would provide better reception.

TV was invented in 1927 by Philo Farnsworth in San Francisco. He designed a system to capture, transmit, and display moving images electronically. The first TV used a mechanical system with a spinning disk but it later evolved to use electronic and digital systems for better image quality. A TV works by transmitting video and audio signals through a channel like cable, antenna, or satellite to a receiver. Pixels on the screen flash in a pattern to display images. Today, TVs are commonly used for entertainment like watching shows, movies, sports and playing games, and can also access the internet. The cost of TVs ranges from $200-1000 depending on features like screen size and resolution.

Editorial
TELE-audiovision is a digital TV industry publication established in 1981 that is headquartered in Munich, Germany. It is published by TELE-audiovision Magazine GmbH and edited by Alexander Wiese. The publication has a readership of over 350,000 digital TV professionals worldwide. The current issue discusses the shift from coaxial cable to fiber optic technology for satellite signal distribution. Fiber optic distribution eliminates limitations of cable length and number of distribution points. It also means each user has access to the full satellite bandwidth at all times. The editor notes that while coaxial cable faces issues like signal attenuation related to frequency, fiber optic technology is not impacted by these factors.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Leostouten
- 1. SATELLITE DX Portrait Leo Stouten A satellite DXer in the heart of Europe! In the city of Leuven, home to Europe’s oldest university (dating back to the 13th century), which happens to be near Brussels, the “capi- tal” of the European Union, Leo Stouten has his antenna farm erected on a small row of attached houses. He has been retired for quite some time yet at 74 he is at the prime of life. Only recently did he acquire a DRM radio (Digital Radio Mondiale) because he wanted to hear what it sounded like listening to AM dig- ital radio signals. But his true love has always been satellite reception. It began with him back in 1987 with a 1.2-meter offset dish and Nokia’s first analog receiver. He has since stuck with the Nokia name and is today using the Nokia Mediamas- ter, although for blind scanning he opted for a receiver from FortecStar. 1996 was the year of the motorized antenna for him: a 1.2-meter Leo Stouten on his roof next to his 1.2-meter motorized Gregorian antenna. Gregorian antenna; an antenna with a second reflector for the LNB. This kind of dish gives “I did have some big problems with the ask for a better system.” Leo, who worked the same performance as a standard 1.5- motor at first", explains Leo, “This is the fifth for many years for Philips in their computer meter antenna. Leo is very proud to say, “I motor I’ve had to install.” Fortunately, this department, is very active in Belgium’s satel- can now receive Nilesat at 7° west, just not last motor has been working perfectly for sev- lite scene and is well-known by many in the with that much bad weather reserve.” His eral years now. Leo is extremely satisfied with satellite industry. He regularly visits the sat- motorized setup makes it possible for him to his antenna system, the signals from which ellite trade shows ANGA in Cologne and IBC in receive all the Ku-band satellites from 70° he observes on his 16:9 TV. “The LNB has a Amsterdam. You might bump into him there east to 60° west. noise figure of 0.2 dB”, admits Leo, “I couldn’t some day! At work DXing. Here he is checking up on channels on Nilesat at 7° west. The 1.2-meter motorized antenna is hidden behind the branches to the upper left. Another multifeed antenna is mounted on the outside wall and is used for reception of standard channels. Leo Stouten is standing in his garden. A true DXer: Leo can’t pass up the opportunity to test a DRM radio. TELE-satellite International — www.TELE-satellite.com
