I've been off this forum for several months only occasionally checking in , so for those who have been wondering where I've been , here it goes.

I had a fellow Satellite Guy and Sadoun Forum member from Phoenix visit me at my home for a couple of days over the summer , besides sight seeing we played with my equipment , took down my 90cm Fortec off the motor mounted it on a post on a temporary 2 x 4 , caught the eye of curious neighbors and onlookers and showed off the poor mans Horizon to Horizon and watched TV into the night or at least until it started raining.

I also took a couple of road trips like Bowling Green Kentucky to Memphis Tennessee ( which BTW I saw many Birdviews in North Memphis farm areas), and just recently went to the Smoky Mountains and Asheville, NC

So now November is upon me and I haven't put the 90cm dish back up yet , I am still enjoying my Azbox thanks to AVI files transferred thru USB port .

Oh ......... during solar outages I did take a look at the neat calculator and figured out where the elusive Telstar 12 was in the sky , so after eyeing the sun for a minute and seeing spots for several more minutes ( I should have used welding goggles ...LOL) I figured out where I have to point and yes there is a tree , I will try it again whenever I get around to it like most of my FTA adventures.

So I'm anxious to get back on track and have fun on the message boards , talk to Y'all some more later :D
 
Welcome back, Jayelem! You're gonna be doing a lot of reading in the coming weeks (months?) to be sure ;) ... I hate missing a day because of the volume of new posts...
 
regular or super-size?

It's always a shame when a regular contributor goes missing.
Glad to have you back around. - :up
 
Can't really tell if this is one or not...

Wow ................... LOL
That's exactly what I'm talking about , and like I said ...... 2 solid dishes and possibly more in that stretch.

14Karat ..... BTW ..... I did stop in (whoops)South Haven but I didn't take any backroads otherwise I might direct you towards one in your neck of the woods.
Funny how we Satellite Guys remember where we see BUD's in the landscape , heck this happened 2 months ago and I still remeber quite a bit.
