    Gain of a dish: how to measure it?

    Buy my definition was for Satellite only. For radio I agree with you. About the "FM" thing, absolutely agree with you, although here in Spain we use FM for FM and AM for AM (there are Stations that broadcast same on AM and FM).

    Gain of a dish: how to measure it?

    I don't know about the US, but here in Europe Satellite DXing is somewhat different to Radio DXing. While the definition you give is adequate for traditional (Ham or not) Radio DXing, DXing applied to satellite means "To receive a signal in a territory out of footprint". For example, one of...

    Gain of a dish: how to measure it?

    Thanks for your replies to all! :) However, my question was related on how to do the measure of the gain not theoretically but practically, as this would be a good idea for DXers.

    LNB vs LNBF

    In the other forums I participate (that they're european, and the majority of them are not English) we call it LNB too. In fact, it's something strange here that people haves (or needs) a LNBF. Most dishes here are offset and "small" (compared to a BUD ;)) so they don't need a LNB at all, but we...

    Fresnel Zone Plate Antennas. (Flat "dishes")

    Yes, it does currently exist flat antennas, however they're are expensive, with his own LNB (so that you can't replace it) and there also just for DTH, this is smaller antennas, and powerful satellites (for example, the Kathrein Mobisat (model BAS 60) has a 50x50 surface, but they claim is like...
