My wifes new Nilesat Arabsat setup.

Greenman

As my wife is an avid sat tv watcher I wanted her happy but seperated from my system. She has CM 1.2m Invacom twin matching feedhorn for Nilesat. TD 110 with Best single LNB for Arabsat. Enclosed a few pics of her new setup.

.









Then finally a pic of both systems. I have CM 1.2m Invacom twin matching feedhorn 42 west to 50 east, below T-90 which is work in progress for a retrofit of the LNB holder system.

However you probabily get a much better signal in Antwerp, Belgium than I do in Limerick, Ireland

Yes Watty Nilesat is not bad with some of the hortizontals dropping at day time or with bad weather but they come back in the night. Arabsat lashes in on the TD 110.

Thanks very much.

Been here 16 years and wouldn't budge.

More pics to give context of location.

Great pix, can't wait to go back to the continent myself, to my own Arab/Nilesat setup.:D
Although it's not all bad weather, there are some sunny patches here as well. Here is my playground

And yes, it's eight of them.

What's the size of the bigger dish? It looks like the original feedhorn was for C-band - where did you source it?

Its 15 meters high, originally it was used in the early 80's as a TV mast to watch German and Dutch TV. I use it now for ham radio. You still see alot of them standing over here.

Nice set up JD:)

Yeat's country. Close to isle of Innishfree.:)

What's the size

It's a six footer.
Bought it second hand of a french fella for IR£150 incl. motor and positioner/receiver. He was using it for pulling in french stations, but he had changed his equipment to 5°e KU-Band.
I'll be taking it down and move it to Germany for african channel reception since most 26°e C-Band channels are gone, and I can pick up the remaining ones with my triax 110 offset! dish.
The LNB in the pic is just for testing, I am using the original C-Band LNB on the feedhorn.
