Those of that type and dimension are used in the Horizontal
polarization, format for terrestrial QSOs. They are deployed such
that they look like "Batman" wings.

Subject: [Moon] DISH FOR 10ghz
Today it was flee market day on my road & I picked up a bran new
satellite dish with feed horn & preamp. This is an offset dish which
I would like to use to receive DL0SFH beacon on 10ghz It is an odd
shape 1M wide & 75 CM high so my question is. Is it a 1M dish or a
75cm dish??? Also the LNB on the feed horn as only one input type F
connector. So would the polarization be horizontal or vertical??? I
assume this dish is for North America.So do I change the
polarization by changing the voltage on the LNB??? Which
polarization is needed to receive DL0SFH since I am in NA?? or it
does not matter or do I need circular polarization?? I will be using
a funcube dongle after the LNB followed by a software program like
HDSDR or SDRSHARP or Spectravue.
Now does anyone know the IF frequency from these Satellite LNB?? I
believe they are around 950mghz or 975mghz but I am not sure.
Thank you for your help
Serge VE1KG
