hi folks
looking at all the piccies from the members setups section made me feel like doing a diy dish. i thought it'd be pretty cool, i'll just make a small one like 40cm i can hook up on my van ;)
so i thought, if anyone feels like helping, please do impressionate me with your knowledge! i need to know a lotta stuff:
type of materials - like for instances, is just "regular" plastic any good?
shape: as i probably won't find something that resembles an offset dish, can i just get something circular, and if so, for let's say 40cm diameter, how deep does it have to be? is there any mathematical qwirky formula to know that? i thought i'd stick up my lnb right in the middle, held by three metal bits, like and old style dish way before offset ones.
in that case, how to know the distance between the lnb and the center of the dish?
come on then! looking forward for your replies
