[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 894718, member: 243342"] As I had to work at 4am today, I took the afternoon off. Not feeling very tired, I got quickly bored and ran out of things to do. So, I came across [URL='http://youtu.be/jOJ-2tmldn4?t=1m48s']this[/URL]. I've seen these kinds of creations before but never really thought it would actually work. Surely, you need a nice smooth surface of the reflector to collect the signals in one spot? Inspired by the video, I decided to try it. Here is there result! [MEDIA=youtube]jTNfKejvRxA[/MEDIA] Yep, holding an old Technomate LNB in front of a frying pan lid, measuring about 25cm across, I easily locked a UK spot beam transponder on 28.2E. If I was really careful, I could get up to 10dB! I didn't try it but I wonder if I would have received anything with just pointing the LNB up at the satellite... Perhaps an idea for Analoguesat, in case he runs out of dishes to salvage? [/QUOTE]
