Sheffield??

Sheffield??

He must 'ave moved, I heard he was thinking of moving

That is some setup, a 5.4m dish for moonbounce, well done to that lad is my take on it.
Great dedication to his hobby.

Has one of us bribed the planning dept.?

No need, it's portable (or on rails?)

The Blade Runner used a railway system for the 3.7m ParaMan

Lovely patina on this one, spotted in Trapani, Sicily. There are a lot of analogue antennae on the roofs here.

Nice selection opposite our 7th floor Air B&b in Istanbul. Not sure about 'health and safety' for the installers...

Or their knowledge. Offset lnbs on PF dishes.

Offset lnbs on PF dishes.

Most likely, it does not really matter if the signal from the satellite is strong enough to get reception even on 0.5m dish.

A good installer can also add 'scalarity' to an offset feed, using a decent hammer.

 

[sonnetpete]

I'm not sure where the feeds from the dishes went, as the building opposite was pretty well derelict. The larger dish on the right was a feed for a 5* hotel.

Etisalat Jebel Ali ES the other day... it's hard to get a clear view of the facility nowadays, construction & buildings all around... it used to be nothing but a desert in the old dayz.

Interesting, that large antenna looks to be a beamguide type from the pipe like assembly passing along the structure.

I went there in 1992, it had became a major transfer port a few years earlier. I saw many warehouses converted from manual labour to mechanised.

Fitted many dishes there and nearby, many friends I made in the process. Another 15 years to go before the contract is up for tax free status.

A couple of big ones on the roof of the TVNZ building in Auckland, New Zealand!

the "analogue" antennas work fine on "digital" terrestrial.
Here i still have 1 "H" shaped for 819 lines black & white,along with a "2è chaine" yagi...which gives me the DTT bouquet (la TNT)
Never had to change it...Only the 819 signal has gone....
btw same for the dish... and lnb also "did" analogue when it was there.

 

[Satfaca]

"Funny" location of the dish, obviously out of use. Cape Town's V&A Waterfront.
