    That LNBF doesn't look square to the dish to me... Better check it.

    KiwiSat free?

    Can I Motorize this 1.8M Fiberglass?

    You need to find a polar mount from an old C-band dish, and convert this dish to it. Since it appears to be offset, when put on the polar mount, the top of the dish will also need to be tilted forward by the same degree as the dishes offset. Likely around 23 degrees. There's posts around here...

    That's really odd, as I'm using Firefox 139.0.1 version (Latest), and it's solid for me.

    Back again, and looking completely different! I had to switch to Tech-Two-Fluid, (bottom left of screen) because of my contrast vision issues. I can't handle the new all-dark stuff.

    Does the site at gjullien.fr/satellite.htm still work for anyone? Wanting to use the moon to find a satellite

    It works for me just fine in Firefox. However, click the box and read this post I made a month ago: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/aligning-motorized-dish-without-zenith-sat.415833/#post-4991808

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    My 7.5ft SAMI dish had the same problem, came that way from the factory. I drilled out the hole larger, so as to make the bolt go in straight. Then I used some large flat washers to cover the hole and tightened it all down. IF the OP doesn't fix his and tighten it down FLAT, that dish will flop...

    Pendragon really knows his stuff, and has quite the advanced skills when it comes to FTA stuff like this. You can't go wrong reading his threads. Here's the one referred to in the first post, I converted the link to the new forum style to make it easy to find...

    Yes, I encourage you to leave it all in this thread here! I put those links there for you to read, to maybe figure out some things you need to do. There's good stuff from people that already did it.

    Stay FAR, FAR away from Rainier! You'll get just as much FTA stuff for FREE by yourself, IF you rehab that dish. There's plenty of info here to figure it all out.

    It's finally back, and seems to be all the way. Edit: Vip3R says it's NOT all the way back, he still has more work to do.

    C Band and a 120cm dish... pointless?

    Nothing under 8 feet is worth bothering with for C-band. Those times are passed now, as most need far more s/n ratio to be lockable.

    Aligning motorized dish without Zenith sat

    I more than once have setup a polar mount, by going out late at night and sighting in the polar star to get the polar axis near perfect. Now I just do it by looking up local solar noon time, going out to the dish with an atomic clock, and pounding in a long tall stake piece of pipe perfectly...
