The Astra 1D test card.
Chris Vowles kindly provided this screen grab. This test card is a modification of one used extensively on inactive transponders during 2001. Normally the blue "satellite dish" test card is used without a caption on it. This one is unusual as it has the satellite identification on it.
10773 H has been radiating this test card since Autumn 2001.
The test card was removed from 10773 H towards the end of February 2002, although it was reinstated the end of March 2002.
