Strong transponder for Hispasat needed

[bidaw]

I had all but forgotten about this bird.... Some pretty good stuff here.

Thanks guys for the kickstart of my brain!!!

 

[Mr Tony]

And I did so wanna watch some Fidel-O-vision, too.

Cubavision Int'l is on 58W

 

[Mr Tony]

Here is a listing of the birds east of 60w

http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistATL.html

that shows both C & KU but its easy to figure out

 

[Mr Tony]

Here is a few pictures of a skewed dish at 9 degrees elevation and -42 skew

on the last one its hard to see but the elevation edge is to the left of the nut

Hey Iceberg,

Between you and Mike Kohl, I don't know who can stand the cold better.

You both work out in conditions other people wouldn't even think about.

Looks very nice!

I'd rather work in cold than the hot weather. Cold weather you can bundle up

My hands became unusable tonight in the cold! I sem to not piddle around in te cold

 

[Mr Tony]

My hands became unusable tonight in the cold!

pockets...especially in a sweatshirt

Piddling in the cold is dangerous. Just don't do it!
Frank Zappa used to sing about this subject..watch out where the huskies go...

Headgear is most important...I got a cold last weekend after being outside
without a hat on. A stocking cap is advisable to protect the ears, because
cold-damp-and wet = miserable the next day or two.
And a heavy vest with pockets OVER a long sleeved shirt,
with an overcoat or raincoat available if needed.
Dress in layers----everything won't get soaked, and you can
acclimate to whatever you run into indoors or outside.

After your trip to Siberia, our cold is nothing like what you went through

 

[voomvoom]

It's 37 here at the moment. That's way to cold for me. Supposed to be in T-shirt, cut-offs and bare foot at easter time. So I think I'll stay bundled up on the couch and watch a strong TP on Hispasat! And you guys can go play in the cold?

Iceberg, that dish looks very much like the Channel Master 84E that Primestar used

I agree about the cold, you can always bundle up but you can't do anything about the intense heat during the summer...

It's 40F here now, very unusual for this time of the year down here.

It says channelmaster on the back of it and StarChoice on the front.

 

[Mr Tony]

well I moved this back to Hispasat (actually putting it back up) due to the dish blocking my C-Band. But we moved the C-Band dish and SC dish was aimed at SC for, oh a day

Now we're back on Hispasat and I have to say I really like this satellite. Have no clue what they are saying but the programming is interesting to say the least

 

[Mr Tony]

pictures tomorrow...it looked funny as my motorized was at 148 and the SC dish is at Hispasat

so to the left is a dish at 16 degrees and to the right is a dish at 9 elevation

 

[iafirebuff]

SWEET! Next to G10 I think I am liking Hipasat as my 2nd choice

 

[Mr Tony]

pictures tomorrow...it looked funny as my motorized was at 148 and the SC dish is at Hispasat

so to the left is a dish at 16 degrees and to the right is a dish at 9 elevation

pictures of said dishes. The motorized is at 148 (well actually 144 or so) but 16 elevation

 

[iafirebuff]

Looks like the wind blew them down

hehe
