    Large Dish Lust

    ADVERTS 1
    Big dishes for C-band are a knock out (to me) so I thought I would start a thread where we could put some pics to drool over.

    Central America seems to have first place when it comes to big c-band dishes. Here's a couple I ran across on the net




    Can you say "Dish Envy" ?

    how big IS it?

    In the USA, 10 and 12 foot dishes are common at homes.
    Larger ones are pretty common for commercial installations.

    So, are you saying 14 and above would be a "big dish"?
    Or 16' and up?
    Or maybe 20 feet across and larger....?

    Is this the result of seeing the neat pix of TonyDix's 24 foot dish down in Panama?

    Yes

    I'd say 16' and larger (c-band use only)
