[QUOTE="Happy-Buddah, post: 94976"] Hi zorba If you moved down to the equator you would miss being under the Astra cluster but the bird at 33* east could drop an egg on you m8.:D Yes centre fed dishes as against offset tend to have a hole in the centre, it relieves some stresses during manufacture and helps drain water out when pointed high. The 90-100 ft dishes at our earth station teleports had 6 inch pipes in the centre to drain off water, as they were put on their backs for repairs/maintenance etc. Many a spanner/screwdriver/nut/bolt/washer did I loose in the past by them rolling down the "spout". And I envyyou living in sunny Cyprus whilst I'm in snowy Suffolk (LOL ;) ;) ) or have you had a dose of bad weather over there also? Regards Happy-Buddah [/QUOTE]
