    AMC 3 at 87.0°W with a 4' or 6' dish?

    Hey Corrado.... "I find it more enjoyable with my 10' that is running a BSC621 for years now and find it parked on 87W most of the time" I have to admit, that combination of a 10' dish and the BSC621 LNBF worked great. "When I first put a 6' "portabud" together I tested it out on 87W since...

    I'm about 6 hours away from mjac or about 365 miles away. :( "Secondly, the dual-band LNBFs don't do C-band quite as well as single band LNBFs." Actually my BSC621 LNBF did quite well on my 10' BUD. However, you are right about the dual band LNBF not being quite as good as a stand alone...

    Hey Anole, Thanks for the info. The reason I would like to use my BSC621 is that it is a dual band LNBF. I want to get the KU side of AMC 3 as well. Is there a better dual band LNBF compared to the BSC621 ? If there is a lower noise Dual band LNBF, I would definitely be interested. As far...

    Hey Greg......Thanks for the input. I think I will go with a good quality 6' footer with good gain, and I should be alright. Anyone have any good suggestions on a good dish & where to buy it from? I've looked at Sadoun's site, but I believe they are back ordered on the 6' dish...

    AMC 3 at 87.0°W with a 4' or 6' dish?

    Ok, I probably should go with the 6 footer. The good thing about my location is that I am in just about every satellite foot print. This makes it easier to hit these sats with smaller dishes. Thats why I questioned what size dish I should use. I read on another site that someone had used a 4'...

    Well actually I don't have a dish at this moment, just the actuator & LNBF. I know that the bigger the better, however, because I have limited area to that direction in the sky, and limited places to put a dish, I'm trying to figure out what would work, 4' or 6' dish. I'm hitting 97 Galaxy 19...

    Cool. I took the actuator and BSC 621 C/Ku lnbf off before I took my BUD down. I will be using a Coolsat 8000HD for AMC 3. What Are your thoughts on using a 4' dish with this sat?

    Hello fellow Fta'ers........I'm not new to C-band DXing . 2 years ago I had to take down my 10' Bud due to property renovations. I'm going to get back into C-band, but would like to do it with a smaller dish. Question: Is anyone currently pointed at AMC 3 @ 87 degrees with a 4' or 6' dish...
