[amsat-bb] Old Primestar Dish

["Joel Black" <jbblack1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just acquired an old Primestar dish.  It is 43.25" x 39.875".  I have
measured the area as 1.481 ft^2.  Would this be considered the area for wind
loading or is this too simplistic?  I had planned to use this with my
G-5400B rotor, but I don't know if it can handle that much area with wind
loading.

Tnx es 73,
