First of all, let me apologize to you and the rest of the list for getting
hot headed yesterday.  I lose control when someone tries to tell me
something about my system/experience when they have no idea.

The spreadsheet by GM4YRE is what you probably need.  It is excellent and it
will help you see what you need.  Do a google search under the call and it
shows up as the first or second item.

Play with the numbers.

I plan on posting some more detailed analysis of my "basic" setup and
compare it to the numbers you would get with a better dish, etc.  I think
there is too much misinformation being thrown around and I intend to sanely
and rationally prove with math what I was trying to prove yesterday with
emotion.

73,

Jon
