    Unfortunately moving back is 20 feet will take me down a real steep incline offsetting any gain I would get in elevation. I can move it east fifty feet or so, and that would clear my line of sight, but entail more cable conduit etc. It can be done, but I also need to consider the labor...

    Lving in Hawaii I am fully aware of how invasive that bamboo is. I do have plans for round up on the stuff that works into my property. In Hawaii it is not uncommon for folks to install "natural fences like the one installed in back of me. There are probably a couple of points that I "Could"...

    Yeah that H to H is one heavy machine. Stogie built a dish with that same type mount a couple of years ago. The dish that goes with it is a Paraclypse 12 foot dish and was one of the last made by them. It has different ribs with slots for the mesh. A finer opening in the mesh and the mesh...

    Getting too old to make a fight of it. I am just tired of neighbors telling you what you can do with your property. Now for me to try to get relocation costs I would have to go to small claims court. It is like you fight the government all day and now have to deal with neighbors.

    A developer has decided to build houses on the land directly behind me. he does not like my big dish so yesterday he planted fifteen foot high bamboo directly behind my dish. My option are to either move the dish to another point along the back in which case he can plant more stuff, or to give...

    Another Newbie needs HELP getting "Quality" and using DSB 5700

    "But I don't understand why I am supposed to input my longitude into the "AMC5" satellite setup." I am not particularly familiar with the small dishes, but i believe you need the longititude in order for your motor to function correctly when positioning the dish.

    I'm confused about the adjustments on this dish

    Happy to be of some assistance. Actually the system was developed for accurate measurements that could be read with the human eye before we went digital. Imagine scales with tiny lines ten thousandths of an inch apart and trying to discern them with the naked eye. So they developed this way...

    I'm confused about the adjustments on this dish

    Dee_Ann, For the purposes of this note it would be a good idea to be out at the dish while reading this. On the pictures you have posted there is an “upper scale” and a “lower scale”. The lower scale is the one with the numbers 0-9. For simplicity sake consider that the “pointer” to be used...

    NASA TV Moved to 105W....87W feed to leave 12/18

    One of the reasons for the move may be that SES 2 C Band is no longer viewable in Hawaii. There appears to be a spot beam for the ku side and it booms out here, but there is nothing on C band.

    SES2 AMC3

    To be truthful I have a spare paraclypse 12 foot dish with a H2H mount, but it is in storage under the house for that rainy day when my current paraclypse dish is finally gives out. I do not anticipate that happening anytime soon, but I just do not need to have two dishes out there at the same...

    SES2 AMC3

    There is some potential to receive stuff from Australia on intelsat 5 and possibly some chinese stuff on intelsat 8 but in order to get those I would have to have an H2H mount. The American satellites are so low to the east that when viewing the former AMC 3, the dish looked like it was...

    SES2 AMC3

    Interestingly it seems as though there is no signal on the C band side of this bird in Hawaii. SES.com shows a spot beam for the ku side, but nothing for the Ku side. I seem to have lost NASA. Oh well, with the demise of the shuttle, and a space program going nowhere, I guess I do not need to...

    Paraclipse Dish find

    Pictures would be nice if you can take some and post them. I have some literature on Paraclypse dishes, but none of mine mentions an eight foot dish. I am interested in seeing one. Paracypse dishes are the only ones I have ever had, and the more information I can get on them the better I...

    Maybe I am being a little slow this morning. I clicked on the WUT section and got to a page that told me i was not allowed to post anything. I get that part, however, I did not see anything that said "click here". I am not sure if it is that the area is underconstruction, or if it is just...

    I believe you will have no problem with that size mesh. I can get more than the "tip" of a pencil in the mesh of my dish. No problem with Ku here.
