When growing up I used to listen to CJSS 1220 AM as that is what my parents had on and FM wasn't that popular at that time. I don't think the old Emerson even had FM? I remember "Scott's On Parade" every Saturday morning while my Mother did the house cleaning. Later on, my older brother got me...

For me it was going to the cottage with my Grandparents for the last day of the year. I would help out where I could but for the most part, I would play on the swing that Grandpa had made that hung from a big old tree right on the point of the island. As we slowly left by boat, I would watch...

Well the actuators that I have rescued might apply to this box. They have reed switches. I have posted detailed pictures in the past and will look for them here. Should work!! As for the sat box,, toss it and make an addition to the component parts box? tracker.

Thanks for the replies. I do intend on putting up my 10' dish next summer so I will keep the SatScan box as it sounds like it could be of use to me. The receiver, what use could I have with it in this day and age? Is it possible to use it to convert local channels from digital to analog for my...

I would be interested in a T-shirt and maybe a hat depending on the shipping cost to Canada?

Nice install! Good that you could stay low to the ground. Here, with large buildings and snow and ice, it's a bugger having a dish high up. Like stanleyjohn suggested, would you consider C-band? Seems like you have room and would add to your viewing pleasure. I myself am thinking of setting up...

Very interesting topic for someone like myself that doesn't know much about this stuff. Reading with interest as I gather this is not a thing that happens too often? Glad to be on the best site to see how this "plays out". Great info, theories and knowledge! "Reading and learning on the...

1adam12,, not boring at all!! I have heard of some digging a hole, dropping in a car radiator, add salts before covering up and using that for a ground. tracker.

Yes McGuyver. All good answers indeed ! I was curious if a "spark gap" might be an option as I see they sell them for homes at Home Depot? Good read B.J. If anyone has more input on the subject, please share your thoughts ! tracker

Sometimes lighting goes up sometimes down? Thread open for this topic. Thanks for the reply. Ground or not???

I have a few towers and dishes not grounded. Some say that ground attracts. Some say that ground rejects. All to do with lightining and such. Others say your system may have problems if not grounded? I would like to hear from all of you on your thoughts! Thought it may be an interesting...
