[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 789922, member: 325666"] Interesting that there should be such a wide variation in this 'signals' level over a 12 hour period.. As previously said I swapped out the ku for for the ka in the rain about 5:30 last night .. Not fine tuned but the F15 showed a 5.5db signal was present and lockable if the was anything to lock to. The rain finally stopped about 2 hours later ...but the signal hit the lowest level at 3db ..a 2db shift as it dried up ..so we can ignore rain fade. By 10pm the level had risen steadily to around 6.5 dm ...and by midnight it briefly hit 8db.. I looked again at 1:30 just before I went to bed ..signal level at 7db.. Checked again this morning around 9:am signal at 6.5 db ...and it hasn't rained since wednesday evening .. This signal ...whatever it is ..(and I suspect a confluence of at least 2 spots) rises and falls by as much as 5 db over 12 hours.. interesting ..and yet impractical .. but then it may only happen at overlap points. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
