Hi lads,

It seems that I just cannot get LOS to Uranus from my place, so I'm going to have to go with Jupiter, Pluto or Mercury.

They are all a sizable distance away so I'm going to need to upgrade to a 31dbi. My 24dbi is less than 3 weeks old and it hasn't even been connected to a network yet!

So you are getting an as new 24dbi grid, which I'd love to swap for a 31 :) :)

Thanks
Mark

Hey MKV

You should still pick the others up on your 24db when you do a scan....do you get them at all?

You are in the same line with myself and Pluto, but on the wrong side of the hospital.

Ya, I get them.

But only get them with max -80 (on Jupiter)

Gonna need the 31!

Shout if u still want to do a swop. I have a 31db grid that i could swop. The 31db just takes to much space on my pole, so i'd like to tone that down a bit. Would like to do a speed test beforehand though, to make sure i dont lose to much signal

Yes please, We need a 31 here! The 24 just doesn't cut it.

How far are you from what your 31 currently connects to?
