Met Test: There is a delay: Sorted @0842GMT

Posted on October 2, 2012 by satfacts

The teleport tell me they are having a few problems with Telenor in  accessing the IS-1002 satellite (AB3/Eut5w and T12 are all stable)

Apologies for the delay in bringing you the Test on IS-1002.

UPDATE: All became good at 0842GMT. (Seems Telenor thought it was reasonable to have 1x engineer to manage the talk-up of my 5x feeds this morning, and also demand a lengthy x-pol check too.) Hmmm.
