Listen to Brother Pendragon, he knows of what he speaketh.

Hey Stogie, just got around to reading your mod article... Good work.I see you went with the WNZ 4x8 mod... It was either you or Anole who sent me the links to another modification using a 6x8 and I have been searching here this morning and can't find it..do you know where that original link to the modded multiwitches is??? There was a Thread that had several different modifications and all sorts of photos, and I can not find it.. thanks Keith, HB

For old crochety, shaky bastaiges like us, use the WNC's. Much easier.

Thanks Amigo !!! This time I saved the links...I actually saved them on my PC and lost them when I was transferring my mail accounts to a new Mac... the PC gets blown up along with the Pansat 9200 and ... what else was on my list??? oh yeah the Corotor 2 feedhorn...yikes, all on the main POS list... Should make an interesting bonfire!
Great post here thanks for everything, and by the way , cut your hair and get a job!!! HB
