I should have specified that it was C-Band, not Ku. I keep forgetting there are a lot of people in here running Ku.
Yes, we are many and proud
If I do Ku, I will go strictly offset dishes. I have been trying to figure a way to get a dish from Canada. It's a whale of a deal. Take a look. Fortec 4 ft (1.2 m) C/KU-Band Offset Satellite Dish : Angel Electronics I'd buy two of those if I could get them shipped here, but it's store pickup only.

At my location I get 103 Cozi just fine with a fixed Winegard 76cm dish. You might give it a try. There is quite a bit of good content on 103 Ku
I may give it a shot. Thanks.

I'll order one of those this weekend and give it a shot. Any suggestions on the LNBF? Oh, while I think of it, I located a 10 foot perferated steel dish in great shape. It has 4 places where the paint eroded over the years, but it's just a light surface rust, very easy to fix. The man living in the house is renting it, but he said he'd contact the landlord and see if I can have it. This thing is built like a tank.
I'll bet it weighs a ton too, but I can get my flatbed pick up right up to it. I'll have to convince the hornets to move before I can take it down.
I've drove right by this dish a hundred times and didn't notice it. The house sits back in a steep cove between 2 very steep hills. Looking at the trees, there's no way they could put it back in service without doing some serious tree cutting. I'll post pictures when I get some. Not sure what brand it is. Maybe someone in here can identify it.
Many forum members use GeoSat or Maverick LNBF's. They are probably some of the best money can buy
I believe KE4EST sells Maverick single-output LNBF's on his website.

Sounds like a winner to me. Thanks.
I have not. I mentioned in an earlier thread about a 4 foot offset dish sold by Angel Electronics in Ontario, Canada I would like to have and I think I've worked out a way to get it. A friend of mine who comes in from Canada to deer hunt with us lives about 45 miles from Angel, and I'm going to see if he can pick up one and bring it down with him this deer season.
I may decide to get two while I'm at it. At $145.00 for a Fortec Star, it's a steal. Can't touch them in the U.S. anywhere for that price. I'm not sure what the duties will be on stuff like that. Once I get it, I will install it and go from there. I'm kind of anxious to see what's up there in Ku these days.
Read old forum posts on the 1.2m Fortec Star dishes before you buy. They were very thin gauge steel and not galvanized. Many hobbyists resorted to turnbuckles and backstays to maintain proper reflector shape. From my experience, I do not recommend. You get what you pay for...
