Dish Pics [for Anole]

[fafhrd2]

As requested by the ever-helpful Anole, here are images of my 2.4 m Ku dish (and more). Just replaced my lost USB dig. camera cable, hence the delay. The dish had heating elements for snow melting, but they never worked. I salvaged the beast from a boneyard where it had been for some years, cleaned it and painted it. It never had an actuator or pole, so I use it in fixed position. LNBFs are currently getting 91, 97, and 113 Ku, and 107.3 C and Ku (with manual turning of waveguide button). The small dish in background of one picture is for 101 DSS audio channels reception.

A+ for creativity and innovation!

Next time someone posts that they can't locate the satellite because the pole isn't level, I will direct them to these photos!

I think that dish should win some kind of award! What you think Anole?

Nice solution. Good pix. -

While back, I saw a 1m or 1.2m Primestar "mounted" in a similar fashion.
We would have to put both into special category.

I'll give ya one thing: you are using a top quality dish! - :up

edit:
Oh, and I love the ducks! They look delicious! -

That paint job(art work) is fantastic! There is real expression here. And it leaves no doubt of it's "eye on the sky" purpose.

and people give me crap about my "ghetto" setups with wood, hoseclamps, zipties etc

Congrats for having the poorest installation ever that still worked!

If the dish falls over the ducks could use it for a pond. Already painted the right color for that.

Actually I like the LNB setup. Kinda looks like multiple microphones at a political speech.
