Well that's interesting re my "theory" about SR. That TP-6 is a pretty high SR, however, that transponder has the 48 contour, and that's VERY strong, compared to say an IA6 which has a 39 dBW contour around most of the US, so it's not surprising that you could receive that on a small dish, provided that there aren't any adjacent interferring sats. The other transponders that have the 43 contour are narrow, low SR channels.
I really enjoyed the pictures of the apparently home-made feed horns and wave guides.
