i forgot to mention that i had already read the antenna FAQ and read trev's biquad.

i just wanted to know if ANY dish will work, like say an RCA or direcTV dish (perfectly round, not oval shaped)

TY, off to build a wireless link

Sorry, didn't know that. Direct tv dish worked for me. i just followed the instructions. I have the only sattelite dish on the block pointed at a neighbors house instead of northern sky lol.

NORTHERN sky? You must be way down there then. Up here, we point them due south just above the horizon.

All of our dishes look like they are pointed at the neighbors house! Minimum dish size up here is 30 inches. I wish those little direct tv dishes worked up here. Then I would have some to play with!
