    What size do I need to pick up TV5 Latvia (11843h) on Sirius 5°e, 1,5m ?
    I know its out of footprint, so it might require an even bigger dish.
    Has someone ever picked it up west of river Shannon? :confused:

    Looking beam it doesn't look very plausible. Nothing AT ALL in Limerick on 1.1, even on a professional meter.

    Very big dish :(

    What about this transponder? Any hope of getting any of these?

    Not likely. The beam drops off VERY fast toward South West. You can get it in Scotland.

    If you are in North East Ireland, and very big dish? Unlikely on less than 3m dish. 4m in South West Ireland.

    In heavy rain or good Weather. Hmm.. Those are BIG dishes... I imagine needing MUCH bigger as you go south or West and especially South West.
