Glantaff,
May I ask how you came to conclude that a 2.8m dish would be ok for Astra 2D in Puglia?? It sounds way too small to me.
I'm in Lazio (Frosinone) and know of no-one who can pick up 2D.
regards
D.

Just for Information: In southern Corfu/Greece (Ai Petros & Cavos) they have installed some Channel Master 3m, even one Supral 2.4*2.7m Offset i have seen on a roof that get at least the H polarization with the BBCs. I don't know though if they can get all H's or any of the V's from where the ITVs transmit. Puglia is not too far away from Corfu so there is a slight chance that a 2.8m - especially if it is Offset - could partly do the job.

Hi Denis1501,

As we are 300mt above sea level and an unobstructed path to AD28, I am going out in October with a meter to test the strength as I have the precise coordinates of the base, azimuth, polarization, elevation etc. I'll post a message with the readings.
Regards
