Antenna Reflector Misaligned

#1



Post by fmanzoor »

I have an antenna which was aligned to receive 100E feeds. Recently the antenna fell on its back on the stand and developed a minor warp, and now it is (azimuth wise) aligned to receive 105E after I changed its elevation a bit. The antenna is fixed to the roof using rawl bolt so it can be said with certainty that alignment issue is due to the warp and not because of the displacement of the antenna/stand. Also, would changing the rods help to make the reflector focus back to 100E?

Can anyone tell which is the weakest TP of 105E and what should be the SNR (in dB) of that TP on 6' reflector? If I have to unscrew the bolts to change the antenna's alignment then should I move it towards 7E/10E or keep it at 100E?
