We have decided that it was time to sell our commercial building and begin planning for something a little smaller for a gradual descent towards retirement. We figure with the economy the way it is, and our youngest with still a year to go to finish High School, that we would put it on the market now with the hopes that it will sell in a year or so.
The other two kids have left home, and once this one is finished, we won't need such a big space any longer, so it's time to get rid of the overhead and move on.
With that in mind, over the past week, I have run separate wires from my SSO receiver in my room to the 10 foot perforated Unimesh dish on the parking lot in front of the building, and finished the switch over from my huge diseqc 1.1, 30 plus LNBFs to the single dish being moved with my trusty GBox.
I will probably add to that dish using my 1 Meter Primestar dish operated on USALS and my SG2100, and perhaps keep my GeosatPro 90CM dish that is setup on 97-101 and maybe one more Primestar 84e fixed on a couple of Ku satellites.
Everything else in my satellite inventory is going to be put up for sale. C-Band Dishes, PrimeStar Dishes, non-penetrating mounts for both C-Band, and Ku-Band dishes, switches, receivers, orthomode feed-horns, LNBFs, Co-Rotors, Telemann Satellite Meter, my vast array of LNBs that I have collected over the years, even down to the concrete blocks that are used as ballast for the mounts.
I am hoping to keep the equipment that I will be using in my new mini-farm, and move it to wherever we end up going to, so if you would like to the buy the entire setup in one lump sum, speak now or it will all be sold off piece by piece.
Of course, you could buy the building with everything all setup as well, but finding that kind of buyer would be a miracle indeed.
I'm not getting out of the hobby, I'm simply getting ready for the next phase in my life.
