[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 720208, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. not been very active lately due to my health...but recently found time to add a surplus 12 inch actuator arm to my 1.8 m c band dish .. Using this with an old NEC positioner I am now able to effect elevation control to fine tune the dish acuracy at the extremes of the arc .. My huge polar mount has never truely tracked the arc ... Not only can I fine tune the dish position at the extremeties ..but now can accomodate inclined birds (C band only) I've yet to finalise the setup ...but will post a few pics when its all done .. Health and weather permitting .. In the meantime I'm adding a snapshot of Silverbird from 3775H NSS 10 at 37.5°W I have NEVER caught this channel before but now its do-able .. Who knows what other fringe reception is now possible :) fingers crossed.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
