If you can afford to build a 20m parabola about 2,000 feet in diameter
and the place to mount it, you'll get lots of gain.

Then are you saying it is the antenna size that is the main factor?.


Of course.

Everyone knows the gain of a parabola is directly proportional to
the size in wavelengths, or:


Not so!,


Well, yes, I guess that's true as only those with an education in
electromagnetics would know that.

So I doubt many participants in rec.folk-dancing would know that, but
