when you have side wind hitting the dish, which you always have when
pointing up into the sky, there will be strong turbulence in the dish.
A base filter must be used before the first input transistor,
otherwise it will cause severe distortion, OR a piece of cloth
working as a wind shield, covering the entire opening of the dish.
