Ah memories. I think that western edge was out in the boonies 30 years ago, but I don't remember very well. About 45 years ago they drove heards of sheep across Shoop Avenue (I don't even remember the spelling) which was a still dirt road with ranches when I first moved there (at age 5). Everything was low density one-story when I lived around there, maybe a few two-story buildings. But the last time I was there, 4 or 5 years ago, it was all 3-story and bigger with traffic and density. Yikes! I hardly recognized the place! Although I must admit, you have cleaner air now than when I left. The mountains are clearly visible now, but I remember them ultimately becoming hidden by smog.
Anyway, I am tempted to ask for a bigger dish as well. But with all the upheaval ahead with the eliptical dish coming out and multiple satellites, I think I will wait it out.
