We were having great time walking in the mountains (OK, big hills, higher than biggest one we have in Latvia) south of Liège today. Nice nature. People are living there, and they even use SAT-TV, we are not alone! I spotted several dishes, did not take pictures of all of them. But there is couple. One is rusty enough, but can you see another one on a specially made mast in the meddle of the woods? P1310084a (Large).JPG View attachment 65925

Not on hols but while working in Swansea, came across this little dish farm. Was wondering if there in use, the dishes could do with a clean.

Yes, Place la Concordia, and parade just finished. Very impressive, almost like football last night (kidding). Fireworks tonight. Perfect weather.

After taking lots of pictures by my new android, found out that there was polythene coat over camera glass o_O! It is good, sometimes I also use ordinary camera, and not all my pictures so blurry. There are couple more about same uplink stuff. And one some fireworks over Eiffel.

This is smallest sat dish I ever seen (we do not count cooker's lids as antenna :D). This one is about 30cm and has double LNB on tiny feedarm.

That's about the same size as my 35cm BSB Channel Master dish I'm using for 1W in Finland.
