Is there someone out there with a solid RF engineering background that can help this user with the math?

I guess the whole thing comes down to the definition of the relative phrase "works quite well". Works quite well compared to ? A .5m dish? I would imagine so. A 12' dish I imagine not. After all without any math and just a little thought there must be a reason the big boys with all the money have big dishes. I think if they could get away with smaller less expensive equipment they would.
