And heres a couple taken up in the mountains. The first ones are of what appears to be a sat fed fm radio relay mast. It had a twin output lnb on it. The final pic is cheating a bit at the big dishes are radar I think

Loads of expats, but the biggest dish I saw was one of those prime focus jobs which were about 2m or 2.5m in diameter. The pool bar at our apartments had Mojo Radio playing all afternoon :D

Lots of small Nova dishes in evidence - and I think I saw one AthinaSat dish somewhere as well.

Two interesting dishes I saw on my holiday in Israel

1) The dish next to the holiday cabin in the desert was coated with the same thick yellowish stuff as the walls (to blend in). It does work as well, so don't bother with special paints when painting your dish, just slap on anything :)
2) Dish on a pole somewhere in Tel Aviv. Not sure why and what, I saw it while driving so quality of picture is not great

This monster was spotted on the south coast of Iceland just outside the town of Hofn. Presumably its an uplink station of some kind. I was driving the hire car so as soon as I spotted it in the distance I ignored the navigators directions and went to investigate!

:-lmao :-rofl2

This rather nice fraccaro was on one of the holiday hotels on the south coast of iceland. Note how far its tilted forward due to the high latitude.
