Hi Sven,
do not be so sad. You can share experience e.g. with LA9NEA and others
with 2 to 3 meters.
If you take into account the fact that 2.2m dish vs 4.4m is a double^2,
you would need to have 4x more rf pwr to get signal comparable with
their echoes !
Be sure that the others with such bigger dishes would take much more
attention about you when having 1 kW !! On the other side, it is not
as easy to create such heat, hi.
So, you have to accept only bigger guns with 6m and over to be your favorites
and the smaller would need a sked or think about higer frequency (?).

That's life and our experience at OK1KIR (4.5m dish, f/D=0.42 with very
similar feed)confirmed that many times.
In others words it becomes very hard to break physical axioms and nowadays
really each one dB counts in and makes difference.
We tried to breach physic on CW with Rex, VK7MO without success. BTW,
JT65C signals were great both sides, hi.
GL,
Vladimir
OK1DAK/OK1KIR EME crew  
P.s.
FYI, we are getting your signal from M to O level at maximum but were
off for ARI contest.
