Satellite alignment troubles

[grohgreg]

The guys have given you reasonable advice concerning the pole. I solidly agree with at least an 8' Sch40 in a (minimum) 3' hole. Reason? HughesNet specifies a minimum 5' dish height. Drill through the pole about 12-18" from the bottom and insert about a foot of 1/2" rebar to keep it from twisting loose once the concrete sets. Bell out the bottom of the hole if possible. I personally fill the hole with water, let it soak into the soil, then pour in 2 bags of Quikrete (make sure it covers the rebar). I don't add any more water, what's soaked into the soil has always been enough to set the concrete (around here anyway).

But don't disregard what you saw behind the feedhorn window. If it turns out to be moisture (likely), the feedhorn itself can be removed for cleaning/drying. If you wish to do this, I'll walk you through it. And by all means do NOT drill a hole in the window itself. If it turns out to be moisture, one of the waveguide joints has a bad seal. I can walk you through that too.
