[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 918618, member: 196043"] I've taken some readings of signal quality levels in the north east of Finland this afternoon with an 85cm dish and the results are surprising considering the location is so far out of the official footprint. I can only assume the north is in a side lobe. The signal seems to be quite stable throughout the day as well, which is unusual in the fringes.
