Since SES-1 will go dark in a few days, our IT guys pointed the second
dish to the new Galaxy Bird... For those interested our "newer" Mesh
dish performs better than our (really) old solid fiberglass dish
pointing to the same bird and receiving the same signal over obviously
identical novras :

My guess is this is more related to the parabolics of the dishes than
their material, but I always find these types of things interesting, so
thought you might too
currently mesh is ~ 16 Ctn while solid is 13.8 Ctn
Happy New Year!
