Antenna is in an open field, so it's clear from 139W back to 11W before a ridgeline gets in the way. Have to swap actuator positions from West to East to see anything below 27W. An H-H motor is a project on my list. Thanks for the bookmarks... I'll try these out. The second full scalar...

Well, I've heard the best preamps money can buy are made by Stihl and Husquevarna ....

My Sunday project was to add another feed to my 10-foot Unimesh, for circular polarization reception. The recipe called for an old scalar ring and single-band polarotor, LNB, junk metal brackets, and a cheesy plastic cutting board. It was a success. Quick look at the photos and diagram...

Sounds like feed setup ain't optimal (like Ti said) to me.... Lobes may be pulling some solar noise. Noon PDT at 99w sounds reasonable. If the freeze goes away for a few days, this theory looks more accurate.

Flux like that is typically terrestrial born interference in my experience. WVMAN, the ABC issue could be that air conditioning around you is cycling on and off in prime time, vs during midday it's just on. Arc in those contactors, or from dirty brushes in the condenser fans can make...

Thanks for the write-up. I think the ASC1 is hard to beat. Mine went "blank screen" for a while if it had to move the 3m antenna more than about 20deg. Stop and wait, display would come back. Sometimes the LNB voltage would wink out in that '''blank" phase, too. Turns out, I had a bum...

I have found false images like that before. I scanned the arc with a spec an, noting positions with signals, then told the STB to go check them out. Turned out, along my Eastern limb, what I thought were low horizon birds were images of higher longitude birds. Its tough -- nigh near...
