    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    My question doesn't concern visibility to the arc. I have a 1m dish in nearly the same spot. It was placed using a compass and an inclinometer to find the best spot in my yard. Sadly there is NO spot that I can get anything east of 60W or so.. I know my location satellite visibility wise is a...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    I'm considering getting either a 180cm/6 foot or if I can find one a 5 footer prime focus dish.. The main problem is the only place I can put it and get any decent exposure to any birds is to south of my shed which is very close to my neighbors/my short fence.. This location should give me...
