[amsat-bb] Re: 2.4gig dish question

["Bill Acito" <w1pa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Should be fine. I use a primestar dish which is 0.9m by 0.6m...

Based on the pattern of the helix feed, I don't think it's using the "ears"
of the dish, so it's effectively a 0.6m (or 24") dish. It was perfectly
usable during FD this past weekend, with a good pre-amp and downconverter.
I'm going to build a patch feed next.
