    I'd recommend 60 centimetre diameter.

    If you have a 80/90 cm dish use it, otherwise a Zone 2 60cm.

    The smaller zone 1 45cm dish will be ok till the first drizzle :D

    Actually an 80cm dish is preferable to a 45 ot 60 even if you have a strong signal anyway because its beamwidth is narrower so that you dont get interference problems If (when ?) someone puts a satelite up close to the 28.2 deg position.

    As the skies get more crowded theyre going to have to start packing those birds in closer together
