Continuing the exploration of space on this sunny afternoon, I can now report reasonable reception of most of the Badr 4 tp's Theres a couple missing, but average sig quality is 45-50%.

Using one of my old 80cm dishes and a FortecStar Lifetime rx.

nice one

couldn't you swing the 1metre dish around to see if that would be better ?

Analoguesat · 28-04-07, 05:40 PM

I could do but seeing as it took me well over an hour to get aligned properly for 16E its staying there for now!

On the subject of 26E(ish), I've just managed this from 25.5E.

No point trying with a scruffy old 80cm then

Thought you were toying with getting a Gibbi anyway recently.
They seem to like this combiation.

Go on, you know you want to
