Actually, the mount was made with 3 pilot holes to set the declination agle. The only tricky part was setting the elevation low enough, as you can see the elevation bolt was almost too short and I just had enough threads out the bottom to put on the nut. The dish tracked perfectly from 72-105...

Back around 1983, I saw my first B.U.D. in action at a local establishment. Was amazed on how many truly free channels there were back then. I saved up my money and bought my first B.U.D. in 1985 and after reading book after book, I was able to install it myself. Been a fanatic ever since...

GO GREEN...............and not just Green Bay.........have replaced most of our bulbs with the high-effecient models............took some getting use to, but now no problem

When I was very young, we'd take the train from Minneapolis to Iowa to visit my Grandparents. I also spent a week during the summer at my other grandparents in Minnesota. Also camped with several other families my parents 'ran around with.'

It would be a little handier than carrying my battery operated b/w tv outside, running dozens of feet of extension cords, etc..............

Here's a picture of the end result of my biggest weekend project I've tried so far. I had a buddy make me a 30' dish pole out of well-casing. I then attached the 10' unimesh dish to it. Had another buddy, who's dad owned a semi-sized wrecker to 'hoist' the thing in the air (at least to the point...

What happened to 5-0?

I thought I'd seen some fantastic fireworks in my day....until I was in Kenosha, WI one year for the 4th. We went down to the shore of Lake Michigan where they were going to light them off. We brought the usual....blankets, chairs and of course coolers with. For as far as you could see out...

We had a very large cabinet-style am/fm/record player. The thing was the size of a coffin. It wasn't until my dad had a stroke and they had to move into an apartment did they part with it. I can't remember what their first tv looked like, but I remember the first color set we had was in 1972.

I close to MN and can get 10 digital OTA channels...............because of my terrain, I can't pick the rest of them#@$^$#$%#@$
