1 Scope
The new Es'HailSat from Quatar has received wide attention. Let's start to play with it. The first step is to receive it's signal.
By coincidence I purchased an LNB with a LO frequency of 9 GHz some years ago, while never using it. Now the occasion has come to really use it. Yet, some more components are missing:
- A DC injector
- A receiver component
- A satellite dish
