| Part 1 - The WS9036 90CM x 99CM dish.
The prize package arrived on Thursday, November 5th, in two boxes. The larger one was, of course, the WS9036 dish (pic #1). In order to get the larger parts out of the way, I assembled the dish first. Upon opening the box, one is greeted by the large reflector (pic #2). The reflector is packaged in a well-formed styrofoam mold, which prevents warping and damage to the reflector during shipment (pic #3). The LNBF supports, J-pole mount, and other hardware are found in the reverse side of the styrofoam mold (pic #4). The reflector has a light grey finish, and is stamped on the back with the dish model number (pic #5).
I took all hardware out of the packaging, and arranged it atop the protective cardboard box the dish came in. This would be my work area (pic #6). The nuts and bolts are made of quality metal, and the plastic LNBF holder is particularly rigid and well constructed (pic #7). I began with the J-pole and LNBF struts, bolting each part together and lightly tightening the nuts (pics #8, #9, and #10).
