Six footers growing on trees!

Well after a lot of thought, I have decided on upgrading my 1.2 meter Patriot to a 6' bud. I put adds into our local freecycles here in the Richmond area and within 2 hours I received three emails from people with dishes that they want to give away. I surely suggest that anyone who is looking for a bud to look in your local freecycle. Now if I can only talk one of these folks into home delivery!

Freecycle got me a 7.5ft c-band mesh dish only 10 miles away (although the guy's yard was a dump, and a bee hive was under the dish), great dish though. And, I still have 3 other guys willing to give me another dish.

Another place to try is craigslist.com

Even with a free dish it isn't cheap other costs for me after the dish: 10ft pole (3.5in diameter), ribbon cable, kuLNB, extra feedhorn, new polarity switch, working analogue receiver for moving dish, working actuator, my-labor

I am very happy now with my setup! Worth it!

I have a 5' and a 40" P* from freecycle. I can also get a 12' if I want it. I am thinking for grabbing a 8' sometime for one I saw at a Garage sale last fall.

Get the 12'

I know 2 AM Sunday morning would be the time to move it down the street or see if a moving van is big enough. I now have a big enough yard for it I just don't know the neighbors yet. Will have to see how the 5' goes.

My opinion , especially if it is located in the back yard , is the day the neighbors start chipping in for the cost of insurance , taxes , and house payment , that day they et the opportunity to express their opinions about my property .

I am pursuing a 6' dish that is down the road from me at a Burnt out house...actually for the actuator and feedhorn ( a cousin owns the property)

Well, no luck so far with Freecycle. My problem is that my county and the neighboring county to my north are considered "redneck counties." That means nobody wants to part with their beloved BUD that sits in front of the trailer next to the car on concrete blocks and the dishwasher
