Thank you. That is nice to know. This thing looks like it could be extremely heavy, and I don't want it to crash down and hurt somebody. I have read that they can be misleadingly heavy as far as appearance. Thanks, and good luck with yours!

Me and my buddy could carry it.(without a mount)
Patience....
I recommend letting the cement cure for at least 4 days to a week. A large dish will loosen the post in the uncured cement and cause unnecessary problems in the future. I know how it feels to be anxious to start the assembly!
Photos or it didn't happen! LOL
What did you use for anti-rotation? Weld on tabs, rebar or through-bolts?

My run is over 100 feet and I use dual shield RG6 with solid copper conductor - no issues. Purchased a 1000 ft spool a few years back on eBay for $88 shipped.So you guys think u would be OK with dual shield rg6?
I see an actuator motor already on your dish. Have you tested it? If it's functional you won't need reed switches/motor.Also what do you think I should use for the Reed switches and motor?
I'm jealous, always wanted one but still have an old VBox7 chugging along.Just bought a titanium dish positioner. Suppose when I get that I can fire it up and see how it works.

Looking at that dirt pile, I though you were digging a basement.The soil appears to have a lot of sand in it. It shouldn't go anywhere.
I'd say 1000 pounds of concrete under 2 feet of dirt.. I sure hope not.
Thank you your purchase of the ASC1! Call if you have any questions.
The least expensive route would be to purchase off the shelf items from a local home supply store.
The sensor and servo circuits each need a shielded bundle. For each of the two circuits, check out using a length of security cable (3 conductor with shield/bare drain wire,18-20g, stranded). Sold by the foot or in rolls.
For motor power, check out low voltage landscape lighting wire (2 conductor, 12-14g, stranded). Sold by the foot or in coils.
