Is there much difference between 5' dish and 6' dish prime?

[ken2400]

So I have the 5' mesh up prime.
I also have a 6' solid fiberglass offset.

Whould there be much difference in signal between the two?

Thanks

Yes, it's all about the surface area.

My 7.5ft mesh dish gets 71% Quality most of the time, while my 5ft solid C Band gets 51% Quality...

It will take some time. Need clear a path out of the garage.
It weights a lot more, fiberglass, and I will have prop it up on something.

The 5' is nice and easy to move around and learn on.

Thanks
