Following on from the interest generated in last years five page topic titled "Who Are The Big Dish Men & Ultimate Dish Men", here we have a topic on a smilar vein, "Who Are The Big Arc Men & Ultimate Arc Men"
I have attached a picture of a template below that contains several columns for arc range. The primary motorised arc columns are for the arc range from a motorised dish at its regularly used location. The secondary arc columns are for any increased scope to the arc range provided by a dish on a mobile platform or a second motorised dish.
For example, primary motorised arc from dish at its regularly used main location is 45.0 East to 45.0 West, ie, a 90.0 degree arc. The secondary dish has an arc range of 68.5 East to 5.0 West, ie, a 73.5 degree arc. The entire are range is 68.5 East to 45.0 West, ie a 113.5 degree arc. I have temporarily populated the bottom line of the template with my paltry contribution to illustrate the logic. I am a micro arc man and will remove my entry later.
There is also an "Arc Man Classification" table included in the template, the classifications will be based on the primary arc and not the entire arc. Signal captures from both satellite TV and Radio can be used as an indication of a satellite lock for arc range.
If members wish to be included in the table please provide your feedback and I will keep the table updated.
Will we see an "Ultimate Arc Man".... ?
