Depends where you are - a well set up 1.2m is sufficient around London.

I realize that I don't have much chance of getting 7e.But I thought that the idea of the hobby was the challenge. I admit that when I get a difficult channel I am chuft.

A good 1.2 is enough round here in decent weather, but fighting rain fade then who knows really.

@ pontiend, that's the spirit mate you keep at it my friend

Well, I'm chuuffed too Pontiend, just got a few of the verticals myself, struggling with the MBC channels though, my 90cm is just quite not hacking it. I must get a better dish

Can't beleive there is so much interest again in this Bird. Might even have a look again myself tomorrow

I managed to get Bahrain TV of it last summer

I get shedloads off this baby with the Fibo. I'm on the wrong computer to check right now, but I'll guess at around a dozen vertical tp's in overcast conditions.

Can't wait 'till the summer and I'll setup properly on 7W for a test. I'll be gutted if I don't get some horizontals at some point.

I'll be staggered mate as you're loads further south and east than here.
You should do it with ease.

For anyone interested in this bird(s), this is a scan of 7W I did after a bit of setting up with the Gibertini last year.

That's better.
