    It got dark

    Thats pretty sick. It got darker here (Albuquerque) than I thought it would, but it didn't get very dark during the one back in October either (and we were right under it!)

    Need help receiving PBS on 99W with my setup

    Don't give up! This one is tricky. Ironically I finally got it when I motorized my 90cm dish.

    Winegard? 7.5 score

    It seems to work as good as the 8.5 spun dish despite being smaller. Still got a little tweaking to do but this one is a keeper. Not worried about the 5G cuz it’s behind a house with a pro panel roof

    Winegard? 7.5 score

    I have it most of the way up. That nice light reflector was easy to toss on the mount by myself. That bit of metal in the center is a burned out “NO DUMPING” sign i pilfered out of the recycle pile at work, the paint on it is drying now……

    Winegard? 7.5 score

    The 90cm dish came with a 7.5 ft Winegard mesh dish lol. Somebody junked their FTA setup and I grabbed it.

    Winegard? 7.5 score

    I transplanted that sg 2100 to my 90cm Geosat and it works great for being on a wobbly crooked pole lol, and I tested that actuator that came with the mesh dish and it works great! Looks to have a hall sensor and a limit switch. I don’t know about the polorotor feed, my vbox doesn’t have...

    Winegard? 7.5 score

    Found this and 90cm dish with an SG-2100 on it “free for scrap” on CL. The mount says Winegard, feed cover says KTI, has a nice Chaparral feed/rotor with C and Ku LNBs, actuator is present, but I think I’m missing a plate that goes in the middle of the 4 sections of dish

    8.5’ Spun Aluminum Buttonhook Dish

    Necro thread alert! I have been enjoying this dish for over 2 years, I did get a vbox to move it but my actuator is crude with its 3 magnets on the main wheel, reed switch, and NO limit switches. Let’s just say it loses counts. Anyways a few weeks ago I decided to move it to the east to make...

    ASC1 and new 36 inch Venture ball

    I’d hate to get a new one and the counts be off. Mine doesn’t hold a count but it has 3 magnets and a reed switch, “good enough” for analog I guess. It’s a big beefy actuator and works well otherwise

    ME TV

    Still can’t get it as of last night, but I had some disecq switch/coax trouble that I fixed

    ME TV

    I couldn’t get it last weekend, but I’ve been tweaking the dish. I get everything else just fine, including Decades (a touchy one for me) Gonna check when I get home. 8.5 footer here

    5G US C-band launch

    I’m still skeptical about mm waves being harmful, especially with the low power they intend on running them at. My horizontal loop for HF is probably more dangerous than any 5g and I haven’t fried any birdies or BBQ’d any cats yet

    Trenching Conduit from BUD to House

    Did mine with some leftover 1 1/2 sch 40 Cantex PVC conduit from when I ran power to the shed, I put plastic weather heads on em cuz it fills with rainwater otherwise. So far it fits one rg6, a pair of 14 awg stranded wire, and a shielded 18-4 cable. Should have room for another rg6. I also have...

    Signal path?

    8 port Disecq, some dishes hooked up, some not. The LNBF on the 8.5 footer has two outs, might be useful if I wanna play with a DCR box. I may also get a second receiver for high def TVs and leave the Amiko for my vintage ones. If I ever get a mover box things might get interesting.......

    Feed Cover for C-Band Dish

    Yeah I’ve been running my C2-PLL bareback all summer long, I haven’t noticed any problems though I’m at work during the hottest part of the day

    YEP i'm giving away my KU dishes for art work

    Neat! Maybe I’ll have someone come paint mine………

    Elevation / Declination Azimuth diagram

    Breddy gud! I’m probably too far west I can’t get 87w, but I get 127w and 107 is zenith for me

    Time to upgrade dish mover box and actuator

    Not sure about that button…… I’m in the market for a dish mover. Where did you get the pr1200? R!ck’s?

    101w Wobbling?

    Haven't noticed, or I don't think I have...... I've had to bump it west due to high winds I think. 101 is close to the top of the arc for me and is pretty stable (for me)

    107w Transition To 119w ?

    That’s my zenith bird, it might make setup of another motorized dish a pain….

    Anyone else having problems with SES-11(105°W) muxes?

    LNB frequency was set for a Ku LNBF for some reason, getting 105 now........D'oh!

    Anyone else having problems with SES-11(105°W) muxes?

    I couldn't get 105W when I tried it this evening, I get 103 and 107 just fine. I'll have to double check things.....

    Cspan analog NTSC channel is going to disappear

    Ah, I thought they were using an analog signal in the present year because of some weird government beaurocracy reason.

    Cspan analog NTSC channel is going to disappear

    That's what I wanna know. Isn't it legally supposed to be ITC somewhere? I'm not getting my tax dollars worth....

    Anyone else having problems with SES-11(105°W) muxes?

    SES11? What's the longitude?
