C-Band Antenna for GOES

Post Body

Hi All,

Geen trying to get a setup going for GOES/GK2A reception here in Sydney AU as NOAA 15/18/19 make good passes maybe once a week here.

Unfortulatley there arent many large Ku band dishes around on my used local market (they are either too small and rusted out or cost $1k) but there are plently of 2M C-band dishes.

Will one of these a correctly tuned cantenna work? Should I get one of those cheap 1.6Ghz QFH LNB type antennas? (link)

Ive been struggling all through this as I dont have a radio background but its been super fun once I find a solution to something.

PFA - best image I could get out of my QFH LNA on a perfect pass
