Bad Company
ADVERTS 1
I decided I wanted to move my old Dish 500 dish out where my Primestar and Wilson are located. I had bad luck getting NASA and the ION channels on 119W with the circular/linear LNBF.
While I was taking down the Dish 500 dish I ran into bad company...
If I am doing this in the summer months, I would have a bad situation on my hands!
WHEW!!!System 1: Pansat 2700a with a Moteck SG2100 HH motor drive and a Invacom universal .3 LNB mounted on a Primestar 1.2 meter dish. Also using a Primestar .75 meter with a .8 Channel Master LNB to receive AMC 3 channels (this is because of obstruction in its path!)
Using Extigy External soundcard to encode AC 3 audio.
System 2: Pansat 2000v as a slave receiver on the 4DTV GI 920 system that consists of a 1985 8 foot solid dish with a Cotorola II feed horn and 15 degree LNB. For C Band FTA use.

Yeah, that happened to me the last time I took down a BUD. I decided that a can of wasp and hornet spray is a necessary addition to my toolbox.

Which is why I rescued my 6 BUDs either in the early spring, or just recently in the late fall. Hah, the wasps came out in November anyway, when it hit 68 one day, but they could only harass me and didn't sting. Originally Posted by SpiffWilkie

I have one to bite me recently, and I thought I was being bitten by one of those fire ants. LOL Originally Posted by 14karat

Damn...
I hate those stinging b*******s.
I can just walk out to my front porch and get popped by one of them. For awhile I was buying two cans of wasp and hornet spray every week!System 1: Pansat 2700a with a Moteck SG2100 HH motor drive and a Invacom universal .3 LNB mounted on a Primestar 1.2 meter dish.

Panhandler, you wouldn't survive the trip down the ladder if that motel was full of guests!
Looking at that picture gives me more than chills...
