Where to put my BUD?

Done!

Well here it is. Finally in the ground and on the arc. I'm still fine tuning the actuator, but having good luck thus far from 72W to 99W. I have to admit, the Fortec polar mount was a challenge to get figured out.

The pole is 36" from the house. The dish is on a 2.5" ID (2.875 OD) pipe, I had to construct a set of steel shims to get the mount nice and snug. Also, I had to replace a the nylon lock nuts with a lock washer and nut to get some of the movement out of the mount. As I recall the dish was pointed at G-17 in that picture.

Thanks for all the help.
