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

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

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. :)
