Fractional improvement ..
now 6.8db on the F15
Hughes linearV offset 3 degrees from focus on my 1.5m
so comparable I guess with Scopus results in Staffs..
I know I'm fringe here in west of Manchester.
See Llew for details.
lol
...rule of thumb ...the further East you go in the UK ..the better the signal..
We could do with getting reports from all over the uk ..and the relevant European countries ..and try to pin down the centre of the beam ...
My guess would be just to the East of the UK ..somewhere in the North Sea...

Keep tweeking Chris, iv'e just lashed up a SL3 that i modded a while back but never used, and it's not 100% tweeked for max on the 1.8 CM but it can't be far off because the nag feed is coming in at 18.2dB.
The Newsnet ladies on Vert was 14.2dB

Just a thought John ..The temp SL3 lash up ... the XMW off to sunny South Korea for fix
My XMW bought from Jin ...but for KaD coverage did once get wet inside due to excessive rain and a hairline crack in the Aluminium casting...
Rather than send it back I opened it up ...dried it out an re-sealed everything with silicon grease..
Worked fine afterwards and that was a couple of years back..
