What kind of speeds are we talking about? Because, 50% is a big number..
Can't find much info about this on the web..
I think this "reduce by 40%" chart is most likely for a K-band dish
which has pretty large holes in it's mesh.
Whereas if we are talking about a window screen.. I would have to guess
it would say reduce by 20% at the most..
