But you are in the minority to be fair , just look how many of them ugly dishes there are LOL  |
There's a little piece that the Discovery channels sometimes use to fill in between programmes about a graffiti artist who reckons he's making things look better by cleaning them up rather than defacing them. Maybe we should go around at night with a suitable brightly coloured metallic paint decorating those ugly dishes!

Parabolics! That's what it's all about. If your "Bin Lid" (no, not the al-Qaeda leader) has the right focal point then it will probably perform better than a Sky Mini Dish due to its larger diameter.
One of my other interests is amateur radio and, in particular, amateur satellites. Some guys I know have made umbrella dishes using brass or similar mesh. It is possible to pick up weak signals from lunar and Mars orbiters with this size of dish!
