I would love to get in on that, a lot to be learned from it.

 

[Analoguesat]

I want some of the redundant satellite dishes

 

[PaulR]

Just looking at the 1.8 channel master it does not look like a C/M to me ?.

Oh yes - I bid a quid for that 11m monster

Although Im sure the landlord would have a fit if that appeared in the garden

Do you think you could get 7w on it

You may get away with the 9.3m one if you paint it green

Thank you st1,

You going 1.8 C/J ?

 

[Captain Jack]

That was always the plan, though I wouldn't be setting it up till next year...

 

[Archived-1]

It will probably be next year when I get round to installing mine C/J, just looking at the 6.3 I do have the room for it but I don't think I would get planning permission

I wonder how much it would cost to ship one of those 9.3m ones to Finland. Would be quite ironic if it was then used to get the BBC...

Of course! That's what needs to go on my CM... Forget the ASC lightning. BBC it has to be.

Not without chopping a whole bunch of trees down.......

Lot 69: Can't get my head around the depth of the dish when comparing pic1 with 3/4. It seems impossibly flat in in the pics showing the face, whereas pics showing the supporting arms indicate a deep dish... lense abberations or what??

Lot 64: This isn't really pointing at anything, is it?
If something, it's pointing straight into the back of the 11m Weston (i think it is).
And there seems to be a green pipe sticking into the dish reception cone...

That's a Prodelin.

In fact, you can see the back of it in lot 64 pic 5, the ribbing clearly makes it a Prodelin 1.8.
Not sure why the auction people got it wrong.
Nice dish, nevertheless. Ask RimanTSS, he has two (!)
