I don't know about Nova Scotia. Even if the global pattern of the satellite antenna illuminated to the edge of the beam you would still need some beam bending to get over the earth. The G/T will be horrible no matter how good your LNA is and the downlink is
not all that hot to begin with. It would be fun to try though. If you're going to do a DXpedition to Nova Scotia now is the time to do it. Been there in the winter and that ain't no fun.</div>
