Some time ago a member spotted a Primesat 1.8 in Derby, to good a bargain to turn down at £100. It now resides in my garden, very impressed with the C Band channel count off 40W even though the LNB is about 5 dgrees offset. Ka is also impressive even though that is also offset from focus...

Very nice setup. Much like what I am hoping to do but just C band., just need to sort out the cable runs.
 
Wow! I need something like that.

What a beautiful installation!
You've seem to have bagged another winner there, mr Scopus. :)

I like this a lot - I would have to spend countless hours approaching this degree of finesse.

And of course - all this in the middle of siberian winter ... surf's on!

Thanks st1. Sure was a bargain not to be missed. At least I managed to get it completed before the 'Beast From The East' came in...
