So you can see my Vcard when you click on my username, but I cannot. I did not realise that you cannot see your own VCard. My profile still has no "Contact Details" tab. Is that enabled after the 4 weeks?

I am not sure if you can see them as non-registered there.

there is a big difrence in quality of the difrent antena brands,some 2,40 m dishes perform like a 1,80 m dish!
better dishes costs more,and you get more quality!

deepbluesky

Famaval is not that expensive but offers resonable gain. I cannot say how much better other brands of same size are.

Thanks deepbluesky, I'll try to register to view the pics. The guy sure knows how to align the dish and make the most out of the equipment short of going for professional components. He must have a lot of fun out of this hobby and the eastern mediterranean is like a hub for europe, asia, africa anyway. I checked out the west africa beam on lyngsat and you can see there is a spike where it says 47 going north-east and when you extend that pointy bulge of the footprint in an imaginary way towards Greece it could just pierce through northwards. Maybe the tightness of this triangle like irregularity on the top line of the footprint cannot be tamed and the power goes past Greece into eastern Bulgaria, eastern Romania, central Ukraine and to Moscow in Russia. I know you never know w/ fringe reception, but I noticed a similar thing in the footprint of Astra 2D; the eirp circles are more loose going to Greece than to southern Italy. Aluminium, 1-piece Famaval must be a good dish, too

Well the West Africa Beam reception of 22W was something completely surprising and he was not the only one that got it partly. The last days he achieved also C-Band reception on 91.5E. It depends on the time of day which frequencies break through. This is the point where i would like to see a comparison in between his Famaval (2.30m + wings=3.10m) and a 1piece 3m of another brand used for professional purpose. But unfortunately it's rather hard to find individuals especially DXers there.
Astra 2D doesn't show any sign of life just like Eutelsat W4. For those you gotta move North at least 500km.
