110 Footprint

[herzzreh]

Is there a graphic somewhere of 110 footprint? I need EIRP for my location.

Trying to figure out how big of a dish do I need for it in Juneau, AK.
119 works fine here.

110 is CONUS except for spotbeams

 

[Mr. Tiki]

What does CONUS mean?

see title for question.

 

[goaliebob99]

[Mr Tony]

CONUS...CONtinental US

I live in Anchorage. I know a couple of guys on another forum that use a 6' to get 110 very effectively. They say a 4' will work but rain fade becomes an issue.

Ah... I thought I could get away with the one I brought with me from down south (3-footer). I'm not up for buying another dish... I guess no locals for me (unless I convince E* to give me Anchorage ones, they're on 119... I think).
