A note for those who receive >= 1 GHz and have their antennas outside at >60 North (I'm at +63 North). Water/Ice/Snow will attenuate your signal dramatically if you don't protect your antenna.
A sample when air temperature was +2C and dish temperature was -1C (1.5m prime focus). http://poes-weather.com/~patrik/1.7GHz/Screenshot%20from%202012-10-22% 2020:50:49.png The signal should have been (left/right) straight arc lines *not hairy FFT*. But now it was full of ice and erroneous since it was uncovered. A simple solution could be to cover it with foam and have a fan blowing in +C air and one sucking out. The dish/antenna should always be dry (>1013 mbar) Just a reminder when receiving microwave up North, Patrik _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
