Ideal size for exploring

[D4ftpunk]

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone's help here I have currently a 45CM MULTYTENNE + a 70CM TechniSAT motorised setup. With those I can pickup pretty much everything I need from 50W to 53E.

I recently took delivery of an aluminium tripod that shoves into my garden and on it I've mounted a cheap Technomate 65cm dish I had laying around. My question is... If I were to buy a larger dish for that (and blind scan some transponders) what can I get that my existing setup isn't going to give me? I feel like the horizon is already my limit!

I'm eyeing up a 1m or 1.2m triax (as that's all I can find). Do I need to go much much bigger to make a difference from 70/80cm?

If you're anywhere near (or likely to pass through) North Yorkshire, I have a Triax TD110 clogging up my loft space ....

Depending on the outcome of this thread. What would you want for it?

Nothing at all.

IIRC it was only around 50 sovs when I bought it about 15 years ago!

It's undamaged and complete.

That’s very kind of you! Justifies the drive really. How far north we talking?
