Has anyone been following 'The Orbital Classroom' column in the AMSAT journal? This month in Part 2, Dr Shuch spoke about the antenna systems needed to copy the ESMO or ASMO project transmissions. Not many of us will be able to find an 18m dish, so I was wondering if anyone has tried an interferometer setup? 

Can multiple dishes act as one, and so replace a single 18m dish with, say, 10 modified TVRO dishes 2m apart in some form of matrix?
