anyone close with c-band?

Hello all,
I am working through learning fta, and I really enjoy it. I am not quite satisfied with just ku. If I had known at the beginning what I think I know now, I would have gone for c-band right off.
I live in central Ohio, kind of on the southeast side of central. I would like to see a c-band setup, and talk with someone who can help me figure out what I need to do.
Is anyone near me with one or more big dishes who would let me see how you have things set up?
thanks, charlie.

I am running a C Band dish with a CorotorII that feeds both a 4DTV receiver and a DVB FTA receiver on C & Ku. You could go with a BSC type lnbf that would simplify things a bit. Kinda all depends on what you want to do. The motor went out on my 90cm dish but prior to that I was using the 90cm for Ku on the DVB receiver as it just worked easier. So when all was operational as desired the C Band dish was feeding C & Ku to the 4DTV receiver & C to the DVB receiver. The 90cm dish was feeding Ku to the DVB receiver.

Wow, I think I would like to see how you have all that hooked up and keep it straight? I am afraid it is way more than 100 miles though, my zip is 44629. Let me know what zip you are in so I can see how far you are away. Thanks,
