What size dish do you have Guinness, if you look at the footprint of the European beam, for our area the EIRP is only 32db, so a big dish would be required.

hi!the dish is 1m! been trying but no luck!thanx

Don't think that you will get it, see http://www.rwt.co.uk/dishsize.htm for EIRP to dish size conversion tables. Looks like a 3 metre for any sort of reception.

PS. Whereabouts in Berkshire Guinness, we are probably nearish neighbours.

Gunnis did you ever get any reception from amos1?

Would be pleased to hear your findings.

I have been trying for ages to get Amos at 4 W, tried everything, not even a sniff at it, it appears to be a very weird bird [for me anyway] I have a 1mtr CM dish and live in SE london not far from Croydon, yet someone not even 10 miles away in SE london can receive it on an 80m dish. Tried going to AB3 at 5W and moving dish to get a signal, and absolutely zilch, tried in all kinds of weather, day and night, think I have given up on it.

Amos 2 European beam is available in the UK on medium sized dishes, but Amos 1 is out of reach.
