Nomen Nescios had to enter another nearby bulding to shoot this video showing the butts of the station. From left: three dishes pointing 30° to 40 degrees east & the c band dish [14°west]
Background: orthodox church on the premises of the #Russki embassy. Iconic!
Right: Ku band transmitter dish [14° west] & Ku band #SIGINT dish [7° west]
The dish hiding behing the Gregorian transmitter dish is a #SIGINT dish. Pointed at Eutelsat 7A west serving Western and Northern Africa with VSAT-Internet connections via 6 Ku-band transponders.

This double reflector motorized Ku-band dish - aka Gregorian - has a transmitter PA and points to some sat ~ 15 ° west, +/- 2 degrees. Equipment most likely from Norsat, Canada as in use on the Russian UN embassy in Vienna

Nomen Nescio friends & me went a-hunting in the 3rd district of Vienna. Expected to discover another #SIGINT station on the Russian embassy to Austria. Surprise: we found a sat relay station
