    Hypothetical LNBF Spacing Question

    Tried it a few years ago, with Ku dishes. http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/not-all-dishes-can-take-regular-lnbs-for-97w-and-101w.269781/ "Selectivity" of a dish depends solely on its focal length. In that time I believed (wrongly) that focal length of an offset dish could be measured...

    Elevation Angle - UpsideDown - Offset 1.2m Dish

    I had thought about mounting the entire thing on a slightly angled block of wood at one point, but the upside down idea had me fascinated lol. Plus upside down keeps the snow/rain away from the lnb... Yes, keeps the snow away from LNB, but... enables the snow to accumulate on almost...

    Elevation Angle - UpsideDown - Offset 1.2m Dish

    Is it possible to rotate the triangle base of your dish stand so the dish, when lowered to needed 29 degree, will "nest" in between supporting legs, instead of hitting one of them? Cheers, polgyver
