I'm having a problem aiming my dish due to the location I have to put my dish. I get 110 gangbusters but 119 barely green around 20 to 25, sometimes less,
which doesn't work well when a storm comes up. My post is not perpendicular/level due to a drainage pipe just under the ground but the view of the sky is clear. Anyone have a suggestion how to get 119 better?

Level the pole if you can. It makes a massive difference if your mount is level. If you can't then you will need to adjust your skew according. If you lean left then skew right etc.

Also ensure your reflector isn't bent damaged dented etc. It doesn't take much to throw off your readings especially if your mount isn't level as well.

Make sure your cable isn't damaged. This usually isn't an issue but it can hit your signal for a couple of points if its damaged or if the run is excessive
