As some have sort of hinted at and a friend in Wichita suggested I think we may have hit on a possible solution. Our satellite junkie friend in Wichita [ at one time he had six C Band 10/12 footers in his yard ] suggested a minimum of 36 inch dish with a 39 being a better choice. Having just bought this 33" I sort of hate to lay out more scarce funds but if that's what it takes so be it. [ Anyone want to buy a barely used 33" dish *<]

I think we will probably keep playing with this one till we get a bigger one but I see a bigger dish on the horizon for our yard.
We really appreciate everyones suggestions and help.
