    Well, CRUD, I missed out

    Well Bob2011, If you saw one on the Mobil station, I'm sure we're looking at the same one (Exxon-Mobil and all....). Anyway, what did you think of it? Is it me or is it begging to be in a backyard somewhere.

    Well, CRUD, I missed out

    I was on my way to work this morning when my eye caught something, or to be exact, the lack of something. There is a convenience store near work and I pass it every day for the past 12 years. The store has had 2 dishes on its roof for ages and one of them was interesting.....until this morning...

    Russia Today

    Anybody else hooked on Russia Today on G19 12152mhz? I found it, started watching, and keep finding myself going back. Seems to be a decent mix of news. It is an English broadcast and they have some really good documentaries.

    Ku question (or any band for that matter)

    Just thought of something, what about several small dishes connected with waveguides to a common lnb? I know I won't be attempting something of that caliber but was just thinking..... Yea, it gets me in trouble sometime. I tinker way to much.

    Cart before the horse, or Look!, a dish!! Pull over!! After verbally procuring the 8 footer, I came home and decided I had better look to see what the view would look like. :-( It seems there is a nicely defoliated pecan tree in the way of AMC-1, the primary target in mind for the beginning...

    C band prime focus question

    1 and 2 1. My 30 minute BUD hunt was sucessful. I found a 12' Paraclipse and 4 8' Unimesh. I got one of the 8 footers for free, the other places were "nobody home" or it was entirely too shady looking while I was with the kids, will go back later. Its obvious someone in the area was a Unimesh...

    A SQUARE C-Band dish?!!?

    Yes, that does bring back memories. Especially since I remember installing one of those pieces of......you get the idea. Those dishes were heavy as hell and after it was up for about a year, it drooped so bad you were embarrassed to go back to work on it. The guy who had it ended up leaving it...

    Ku question (or any band for that matter)

    WELL SNAP!! I guess I should have done a forum search more thoroughly before posting such a question. It has been asked before. Now I do feel like a noob.

    Ku question (or any band for that matter)

    Signal phasing, time of arrival, I'm sure there are a variety of reasons I dont understand. Just wondered if someone else had heard of such. On the second part of your reply, I have talked her into chickens, gardening, solar power, dehydrating, and she *might* let me put up a greenhouse (jury...

    Ku question (or any band for that matter)

    Hi all, newbie to the forum. Lurked long enough. As I'm sure you all have heard before, I was an installer over 2 decades ago. What I will say is, everything has changed except for the pole!! I'm getting back into satellite and am having to relearn it all over again. My question is an odd one...
