Buiding 6 feet fiber Dish

anishpsla

Hai, This is my first thread on this forum. Please help me to build a 6 feet fiber dish to receive Ku band signals. I am from India and there is no way to get a fiber dish of this size.

Zaphod

Nelson's Parabolic Manual describes how to build a fibreglass dish of up to 12 feet in diameter.

OK, it costs 35 Austalian dollars, weighs 0.2 kilogrammes and explains how to make a 3.7 metre diameter C-band dish.

What kind of help are you talking about ?

He's given you a link to a book that will give you instructions on how to build it.

I have no credit card or enough money for buying the book. So anyone please explain the process of building a fiber dish.

If you do not have the resources available to buy a book, then i do not think you have the resources to build a dish, its a rather large project and requires some investment.

Both links are about Enlarging Dish size. But I wished to build a dish of size 6 Feet or more to Dxing Ku band signals.

I think as someone else said you may be in the wrong place to ask this question, on this forum the main topics are Sky, which is a consumer satellite TV product and aligning dishes to get European satellites, not building your own satellite dish. Even installing a satellite dish and system is beyond the abilities of many of the posters here (no offense anyone ).

I'm a bit confused as to how you can afford to construct a 6ft fiber dish with all the associated satellite equipment but can't afford the manual, or did I miss something.

Why I can't afford ? please tell me the details wahy I can't afford the price.

you said "I have no credit card or enough money for buying the book." thats what led me to believe that you can't afford the book.
