Skip what a pleasure to watch. I am still a novice at this but learning so much and keep it up I will wait for the next video patiently. Trillion Thanks 73s wb7qxu
On a real offset dish the top of the shadow of the feed should generally be just at the bottom edge of the dish. And from the focal point, the oval offset dish should look like a circle, and the feed would point at the apparent center of the dish (which is just below the actual center of the oval dish). The figure and shape of an offset dish is not the same as the figure of a prime focus dish. An offset dish is half of a parabola. A prime focus dish is a whole parabola.
A great way to start the weekend, thanks for the video and the experience that you share!
Great video love the jeep crane.... And the big dish in the back. Amazing work.
Well done Skip … keep up the good work 💪 good luck building your station, see you off the Moon on 10Ghz

I have the same dish for my EME setup. On 3cm I had 13.5 db sun noise and 1.4 db moon. Of course with waveguide system.
Great!
