C-Band on a 120cm Dish?

[jmnet]

I saw on the Sadoun site where the specs for a 120cm Fortec Star dish include the gain for C-Band.

I guess my question is, what kind of performance do you really get out of the 120cm dish for C-Band?

Thanks.

120cm works with strong C band satellites such as NSS806, Intelsat 805, PAS9.
You better go with a 6 footer.
The 6 footer is more convenient not only for the size and gain in comparison to the 120cm but the shipping is less expensive.
The 120cm is a solid dish and shipping is awefully expensive

Even though few user reported limited success with receiving C-band signal with a 120cm dish, I would not recommend it. I would go with a motorized 6ft dish. Iceberg is using a 6ft stationary dish. He is getting 90% of what's out there with this dish.

I currently use a 10 footer. When I saw that I though I can replace my 100cm dish and get another c-band dish running. Thinking about a 6 footer though.

Thanks.

I personally have a 6 footer and I am very satisfied with its performance.
One thing you will like about the Fortec 6 footer is that it is a very versatile lighweight dish.

I also have a 6 footer and seem to be satisfied with it.
