- My Satellite Setup

sAT.: EechostarDVB 1000Ci2 (no 7 tears old and faulty), one Analogue receiver threshold -3dB, even older but still in good working order, 3.6m mesh dish with positioner, California feedhorn with mech. polarizer and C- and Ku- Band LNBs.
PC1 P4 2.2GH

- South Africa, Johbg., 26.2S, 28.1 E
Although I joint this forum quite a while ago, only recently I have the time to look more into this forum, as in the past.
Why - I’m retired now.
What strikes me here is, some junior members just posting a question and expect (according to their writing style) that someone here tells them from A to Z everything they want to know …. including (almost) Ohms law.
Over and over again the same questions. Nobody bothers to look at a footprint to see if there is a slight chance of receiving that satellite.
I started 7 or 8 Years back to try to receive signals from satellites. So I have some experience and some knowledge accumulated over the years.
I’m not saying that the youngsters of today must go through the same learning curve, but some self-gained knowledge is necessary, otherwise they will depend always on some ones knowledge.
My point is, could you introduce a newbie’s corner, where one can read and gain some knowledge. As some articles are on the Internet, maybe you have to get the copyrights to publish some articles here.
I feel really sorry sometimes for your senior members or moderators to repeat and repeat the same thing. There answer would be – after having that newbie’s corner running, “… please read through items x, y and z and that’s why a reception at your location is not possible”.
I can contribute to that corner, but I have not the sound theoretical knowledge of microwave transmissions and receptions.
I’m a familiar with power electronics (kilo Volts, kilo Amps …..).
