Anyone in the Crossville, Knoxville, Chattanooga Tennessee areas?

I am looking to buy some equipment or to make some friends of the hobby if anyone is anywhere in the area. I am looking for a 36 inch dish or larger. My dream would be to motorize a 1.2 meter.

I'm in the Johnson City area. Best bet (and what I started with) is a used Hughesnet dish, you'll find them around peoples' homes and most of the time will give them to you for free. Best way to tell if they aren't being used is if there's no LNB on the end. You can also receive 101W Ku very easily with an old directv or dishnetwork dish, if you just want to get started. There was a FB marketplace listing in Lebanon TN that had ALOT of dishes around that size as well, for free.
