[QUOTE="hexah, post: 886912, member: 333852"] If they are going to space out the satellites a bit more it will create problems with big dishes because of the narrow beamwidth. If they are more than 0.2 degrees apart it may be necessary to have two large dishes to receive them consistently with enough gain to ensure reception at all times. Remember that the satellites wander around in their 'box' in the sky and you have to take that into account. Atmospheric electrical thermal noise and man made background electrical noise and aliens trying to contact us from outer space on a bad choice of frequencies :rolleyes: is something we can't do much about except try to drown it out with a big dish and to ensure proper shielding in the cables (removal of the foil and making sure the braid wire is evenly distributed around the cable before putting the F connector on, if its not a crimped f connector a decent amount of self amalgamating tape and a drip loop will stop it sliding out under its own pressure).
