I go to the local pub, buy a couple of rounds for the really big farm boys, and presto! Dish(es) moved!

That's how my 32' TV tower was installed years before I bought this place. The outriggers are made of steel instead of wood. Still standing and still useable after 30 years.

Very nice

Probably better than some of the new ones if you can live with fiddling with the servo

Nice projects!

I got a machinist to chuck the scalar in a lathe and open up the center hole a few thousandths for a standard C band lnb, I ended up changing the unistrut clamps in the photo for simple "L" brackets and set screws.

Comp: Y'know I just might set this one up as a scanning dish. The hardware is now tight, this could be fun....Thanks

Yep polar mount, freshened up the hardware as half of the bolts were worn pretty bad. It came with an ancient Ajax with potentiometer feedback. And it works! For now I will use it as a fixed dish (like the rest of them). I may hook this one up to the micro and the gbox in the spring.

Week before last I got over to a farm a few miles from here and snagged the 12 foot Unimesh I have had my eye on for a couple of years. Last weekend I got the holes for the piers dug, the concrete poured, and the tripod mounted. Today with the help of as couple of friends got her up and ready to...

Cracklin' Send that musty old 1M meter to me...I'll find space in the lineup....I like fixed Ku dishes :)

PR mux on 99W cband,

drum roll please............how many monies?

These went down 4' and still pulled out in a 50mph wind. Reset to 5' been holding

:D

Nice! wish it were a bit warmer here

consider a voltage switched, or a bandstacked lnb, it won't freeze up at -30

Nice work! One plus with rocky soil is not too much gopher trouble.

Interesting, I tried an encoder driving a reed relay a while back with poor results. Didn't even think of an open collector (major brain fart) output. Looking forward to the scalar distance report, I assumed (brain fart #2) the struts were engineered to be dead nuts on when homed on both the...

The drum beat is the same "buy new stuff, your old working stuff ain't good enough"

Good looking project!

Can you bring it here, I'll take it:D

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

It'll straighten out pretty well and should be an ok dish, I wouldn't use it for feed hunting but it should be great as a fixed dish.

looking forward to seeing it being mounted as soon as the thaw arrives

Anyone looking for a $500 lna?;) Wish some of these guys would do their homework. EF Data RF/Low Noise Amplifier- - eBay (item 250789136343 end time Mar-25-11 19:17:34 PDT)
