    Ready For FTA Install

    Yes I used a compass for south, I think the chart sad to use 174 for accurate setting. I am almost thinking of using just the dish without the motor to see if everything just works. Then maybe putting the motor back on later. It is pretty windy today and cold. I may wait till the wind quits.
