Hello All!
I'm Chris, located in Southern Indiana across the river from Louisville KY. I've been a dtv sub for over 10 years and started to get the itch to play with FTA. Found a old WildBlue/ViaSat dish and started about grafting on a Ku LNB to replace the Tria (Anyone need it or is it of any use). Got it mounted up a month ago and enjoyed playing with it finding a few feeds mostly directly overhead. Mounted it to a HH120 and now can swing it all over the sky. I have full H-t-H viewing on 20 acres of farm land.
Now I've purchased a GSP 90cm & HH90 and am looking at planting another pole to mount it up. My first question is the planning of my dish farm as I plan on adding a C band dish down the road. What orientation should the dish poles be aligned (south to north im assuming)? I was thinking about putting the second pole about 3-4 feet to the south of my existing pole.
Bio: IBM Mid-Range Expert (AIX, iSeries & Linux) in the healthcare field, been a hacker since the early 80's, middle aged, 2 kids, 20 acre farm. Love to tinker with electronics, pretty handy at turning wrenches and fixing most anything. Avid golfer.
