[QUOTE="madridman, post: 878486, member: 393019"] It seems that the recommended size for Madrid is 150cm or more but I'm trying to balance reasonable reception against a low budget and keeping my neighbours happy. For the moment, I have permission from the neighbours to put up a 110x120 dish but I might be able to get away with 120x135. My aim is to be able to receive all 2E transponders most of the time but I don't mind losing some transponders in bad weather, and 2F is a bit stronger so should have more weather margin there (came in fine on the 90x100 dish I had where I lived before). What size dish would you recommend to meet my aims? Regarding the bracket, thanks to the good advice I have received here, I have abandoned the idea of fixing the dish to the mast and will try to find somewhere else to fix a proper bracket (60-70mm). I need to get up on the roof for an inspection (it's a pitched roof with access through a trapdoor in the ceiling so should be fun!). [/QUOTE]
