Dishes on holiday

Not strictly 'dishes' but taken this morning at the top of the funicular in Bilbao

On reflection, there were two Andrews CM's on that mast. Nowhere near the size of that 'thing' halfway down, which looks like it's escaped from the timpani section of the LSO...

Spotted this morning near Paralimni, maybe a 3.8 although 4.2m used to be popular. Most expats go the IP route these days.

Found this link, made by someone on an Italian website.
Isn't it creative?

For sure, that is very unique installation. Just wander about reception results in Ku and C band without realignment of the dish. Attaching picture in cas original source fails

 

[Channel Hopper]

That is very cleverly done, the mesh part will be almost invisible to the Ku feed, through both focal distance and electro transparency.

That's the Monte Archanda transmission site that transmits Spanish digital terrestrial TV to Bilbao. The CM dishes will be almost certainly downlinking the TDT feeds (and probably some FM radio ones as well) from 30°W.

Not strictly holiday (although I have been to this city/country before!), but I was having a look on Google Streetview and found out that you can get a really good view of a selection of dishes, including two big ones, outside the Icelandic national public broadcaster RÚV in Reykjavik. Hopefully this can be allowed due to the current situation

Google Maps (Photos from 2013)

I'd guess from the angles, that one of the big ones would be looking at 7°E (which would make sense for EBU feeds), and the other at 0.8°W maybe.

It was about +23*C today (record!) and we traveled around enjoying our time. Then I saw the familiar dish, but LNB looked kind a strange to me . Perhaps for fishing channel.

Yes I read about that carp the other week

Great! Someone has "invented" a skeleton LNB with a wireless connection to the receiver - so no more long cables and so on

That's probably a load of "cods"- you are unlikely to find haddock in "Tonbridge Wells", unless it's in the local chippy

That's pollocks.

Probably so! - but then this is all a bit "fishy", and very "skeletal" in "content".

Thus we need to "spread our net" somewhat wider to "find out" the rationale for that "most inventive LNB" as it could be "very useful" to many of "us plebs"

Nevertheless, we can "skate" around the "problem" and have a "whale of a time" (OK, I do know that whales are not fish!), but need to look out for "sharks" (which ARE fish) and also avoid "turning turtle" (which are also not fish!)

The dish of the day is almost always fish.

If you check the orientation of the reflector , it is designed as a sundial.

Talking of which, supper

"Record" for the "number" of "quotes" in a "single" "post".

Oooooooooo - it's what dreams are made of

Indeed!
I always wanted to see such a broadcasting tower in real life. When I saw this beauty on top of a mountain, I drove to it straight away! Actually there are more towers up that hill. Take a look at streetview:
