Hey Will,
Dont feel too bad mate., I had the same thought, but hadnt gotten around to checking into it yet. I was thinking, that even if it turns out to be half as reflective (or half as accurate as a smaller mirror, it would make up for it with pure grunt Apature). I was also thinking of myself leaning into the dish too much and therefore blocking its light-sucking ability. Unfortunately it wont work, but I believe its good to keep thinking outside the box.
Best thing to do is turn it into a solar reflector or put a usb dongle in front of it and pick up the nieghbours (Or your friends internet 2 miles away). This can easliy be done with a good line of sight.
Have fun,
Rob.
