Here is an old pic I scanned in, of an old 1.8m dish I used to own.

This was taken about 11 years ago. It was a fibreglass dish. The feed was a

very bad match, used to shake about in the holder. Think it was an Echostar

triple band lnb, probably around 1.1db:eek:

I have something like that in my garden :)

There was (well, still are) a big tree in Astra direction so, when Filmnet used Astra I had to bring this monster up on my roof.

Thinking of using it as a bird bath, even a big bird could take a swim in it.
 
Or use it for a gazebo roof!:)
 
hows the precision 1.8 coming along ?

do you have some feed arms and a feed for it yet ?
 
Yes bought some on ebay, they were off a 2m Precision dish, So I have cut them down to size, just need them threaded and im ready to go:) Also had the feed too;)
 
nice what lnb will you be using on it invacom with feedhorn or you going to try cband on it ?
 
Yes Ive got an Invercom quad and Precision feed. Might go the C band route later on, but doesnt realy interest me.
