[QUOTE="Jeff_19341, post: 171251"] Hi Josh When I actually lived in Ipswich Town, Colchester was 20 miles down the A12 from there. Hence Ipswich locale is 20 miles up the road (A12) from you and not in the sea:-rofl2 . You have to take the rough with the smooth with Nilesat, the UK is way out of the footprint. You can see my gear from my profile. Pretty good overall reception from that bird in general but drizzle and rain will kill the signal. I tried a 1.25m dish last year and got slightly better results but not 100% and never any sign of the Horizontal transponders. I find that reception improves as the weather gets warmer, ie late spring and summer and early autumn. [B]The above are the results I have recorded at my location with my equipment.[/B] Jeff:) [/QUOTE]
