In Egypt the biggest dish allowed by law is 2.4 meters. By reading signal strength reports on this web site, I have come to the conclusion that I should be able to get a load more channels if I has a slightly bigger dish. (Channel 4, Sky 2 etc) So, I have a cunning plan and here it is.
On a few roof tops around Cairo amongst the hundreds of thousands of dishes there are a few like this. (see photos) I think the smaller dish there is 120-cm so I figure the big mesh one would be about 4 meters(maybe) The mesh is damaged but the frame looks fine, I was thinking to try and get my hand on a dish like this and replace the mesh with sheet aluminiun and make a big solid prime focus dish.
