[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 800381, member: 325666"] Left the dish overnight pointing at 55W .. The signal level on JNN was maintained around 6.4 - 6.5 db .. Left the curtains open which woke me early to ...errr..I believe they call it _sunshine_. So dragged my aching carcass out of bed ...after checking the signal levels .. and yes ..still averaging 6.4.. Removed the 3rd wing ready to mod it .. The signal level only dropped to average 6.3 But no sooner had I moved the gear outside to begin work ..than ..you guessed it .. It started to rain again. Rain stopped play ..but the good news ..the signal level is still averaging around 6.3 db ..and stays locked .. ..moving images more than stills..but a bit more eratic in variation on the F15s db scale. Dish surface currently wet ..but it looks like the 2 modified wings are more than compensating albeit a small amount ...for the inefficiency of the unmodded wings .. I know its all guesswork ...but it just 'feels' better somehow. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
