Span 58W to 42e with trees bare! 42e gone and now 39e
My Location
southern england, Berkshire
Can anyone advise what birds are available in pafhos on 1.1m dish. Just looking around there dont seem to be many motorised systems either. Not interested in the 3m systems for sky but is a motorised system worth the effort?

Thanks
 
70.5E (some), 53E, 42E, 39E, 36E (some),33E, 26E, 16E, 13E, 10E, 9E, 7E, 5E (European Beam), 4W, 7W, 8W, 12.5W and 15W, should all produce some channels Ross, you can always use a slingbox for UK based channels if you have broadband. :)
 
Allow me to add some:
80E (some)/75E/62E/30.5E (probably none anymore since its power reduction)/21.6E/19.2E (some of the strongest)/1W (some of IS 10-02)/43W (very low on your SW horizon)

From 4W only the Middle East Beams can be received. The European Beams require huge dishes.

Since this is an often used marketing trick i should mention that a 1.1m dish is not 100*110 but 110*120 for example. Always the smaller diameter gives the name not the bigger one.
 
Hi Rossy

I,ve just motorised my 80cm in cyprus and i get all the above sats except 1W.Thor 5 is just about to start at 1W so the signal should improve.

And yes it is worth going motorised

Regards
 
Thanks for your reply odellp. May i ask where in Cyprus you are located and what is your reception window ?
 
Hi Deepbluesky

I am in eastern cyprus and i receive from 15W to 75E if thats what you mean by window
 
Yes, that's what i have meant.
 
how big a dish can you go to ?

as a 1.8m dish on a polar mount setup would be even better than a 1.1m as you would get some channels from 19e, etc
 
By the way, in Lemesos/Limassol is a DXer that gets full Sirius 4 on his 2.1m. The footprint is far too pessimistic.

I believe that Ross probably intends to use his existing 1.1m Triax dish from the UK. :)
