Hello,
This may seem like a silly question but thought I'd ask anyway. Does the er... "concavity" of the dish matter when it comes to choosing one. We all talk about the surface area of the dish being the important factor - well, a deeper 1.2 meter dish will have more surface area than a flatter one, right? Or is it essentially the outside circumference that really matter, as the amount of signal "entering" the dish will be the same....
Thoughts?
