Adventures in Dish Hunting 2009

Sponsored Links
I had thought I saw where someone had started a new dish hunting thread for 2009, but maybe I was hallucinating.

Dish Hunting has been, and I guess always will be my favorite sport. You get to ride around in a nice warm vehicle in the winter, and nice cool vehicle in the summer.

From late autumn until early spring is the best time of the year for this sport. Once the leaves are gone, dishes in the wild are much easier to spot.

I hope this is an encouragement for everyone to get out there and start looking. You never know what you might find, and you never know what kind of equipment might come with the dish you find.

So get out there and start hunting. Post pictures and finds here for anything you personally find, and of course we want to see and hear all about what you actually bagged and brought home.

Don't know what happened to it, but at least we have a new thread for the new year.

I think I got the first dish of the new year, lol. yesterday, on my way into town I stopped at a dish I had been driving past for along time. I knocked on the door & a elderly lady answered the door. I asked her , Are you using that old old dish out back? She came right back with, No, do you want it? This is a very common answer that I like hearing! It is a Winegard 10 ft, I think a older Pinnacle series in very good shape, I have not taken the feedhord cover off yet, but will as soon as it is on the ground later today. This is it, lol. I dont need any more BUD's for now, I have 10 10 footers & the 6 ft for now. I hosted 3 of the pics I took, since I cant upload here today for some reason. More pictures to follow, Guy.

The Winegard Pinnacle is a fine dish. Very deep with almost no side-lobe or terrestrial interference.

It will do a great job for you.

Nice find!!

BTW, Good Luck Iceberg and Gabshere!!

Happy Hunting!
