Thread: Hi from Twin Cities!

hello SATire and klewis,
welcome to satguys!!

Thanks for the welcomes

I'd like to add my "WELCOME" also.

I only get to read the forum every couple of days now, since work has me traveling more than normal, so I am late posting this.

My ears perked up when I read that you are near White Bear. When I was much younger I had a Very Special Lady that lived in Chisago City (did I spell that right?) and I would spend one of every three months there. She had relatives in White Bear Lake, Center City and Linstrum, so I got to know the area pretty well.

I don't want to get you upset about having room for more dishes, but I have posted pictures in several threads here, but I have 2 1/2 acres in North West Arizona, and currently have three "C" Band dishes up, five KU dishes up and running, four working and in use receivers in two locations in the house, and two or three more dishes on the ground waiting to be planted.

I lived in an apartment building in Southern California before moving here, and had three KU dishes up (with the owners permission), that was how and when I started my quest in FTA, about eight years ago, and have been hooked ever since.

I only mention any of this because I too, like you, dove into FTA in a big way when I discovered it.

Again, welcome to the forum, and have fun with what you have and will have in the future. It isn't a hobby, it's an addiction. :-)

Until the generator kicks in that is. Then all we hear is the sound of many UPS devices going beep beep beep hehe.
