[QUOTE="koansrc, post: 505083, member: 244790"] ok, here's the attempt ... at creating a subreflector for the 3.0m CM ... drew the parabola using the string technique, made a mold from a piece of wood, copied the mold to a series of softwood pieces, used cardboard to form the dish petals, covered in silver foil, adjusted lnb to calculated focal point, hooked up to meter and received ... nothing. I was hoping I could blame the thin foil, but I guess not :-rofl2 :-lmao [/QUOTE]
