Paul Marsh is an amazing guy when it comes to more obscure satellite stuff. If you ever want to move away from TV-related satellite stuff into the really esoteric realms of UHF military sats, Inmarsat, etc., he's the guy to talk to. He's very friendly and helpful, too.

As a ham (KC2GRN), I find this a quite interesting combination of hobbies. Keep up the comments. Great forum.
