Is 75cm dish sufficient for East Coast?
A question: Is a 75 cm dish sufficient to receive most of the Ku band satellites? Right now I have a 90cm, and wanted to experiment with a smaller dish. I am at 74.8, 40.4 coordinates, in the New York-Metro area, with a clear shot to the horizon from at least 15 - 130W. Was wondering if there would be lots of signal loss going with a smaller dish. Guess I could insert an in-line amp if needed. Coax run would be less than 75 feet.

Thank you for reading.
