Thank you very much for this detailed listing.
Since my origin is from the other side of the Ionian Sea, Corfu to be precise, it's of big interest for me.
Is it possible for you to make some measurements with bigger dishes, let's say 1.80m, 2.40m and 3m ?
And other positions would be also very interesting.
What about Astra 1B/C/E/F, Sirius 2+3 Nordic Beam, Thor 2 and different C-Band satellites like Thaicom 2/3 on 78.5E, PAS 7/10 on 68.5E, Intelsat 901 on 18W, Intelsat 801 on 31.5W, Intelsat 903 on 34.5W, NSS806 on 40.5W, Intelsat 805 on 55.5W ?
Would be great if you could build up a list on a website or so.
Thanks again and have a nice summer left there. I know til the end of Oct you have nice weather there most of the time.

bunchy62 said:I found a 3mt solid dish from IRTE. does anybody know if its really a good dish and if it performs really like a 3 mt dish or if its performances are less then its 3mt size?
This is the only shop i found in Italy till now..does anybody know other shops which supply big dishes as big as from 2.4 mt?
Does anybody know if the Astra 2D transborders ( ITV, RTE , BBC ) have the same strenght or if there is difference between ?
I found this shop in Spain ( cyberland ) which sells big dish...does anybody know if i can trust them ? Pls if somebody has already dealed with them, i would appreciate to know more about this shop in Spain, expecially if someone could tell me if the dishes they sell are good quality or not..
Sorry for so many questions...
Ty to everybody which will be able to help me..

barney said:Hi, i have a 2.4 mt irte prime focus dish (8 pieces). It was second hand.
Is very important that the piece are allineated very good.I have repainted it. The gain is not the best ( i think is like a 180cm offset ), but i know is very difficult in Italy buy a "big" dish.
Ciao
bunchy62 said:Well Barney,
I decided i am going to buy a 2.4 mt irte prime focus dish. I will buy it new so i hope i wont have too many problems with allineating and the gain. I spoke to my sat technician ( the one who already did my system for astra 2D ) he said he has good experience on Irte dishes. so finger crossing..i will let u know how it will goes
Ciao
