[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 808981, member: 243342"] The work has started - currently interrupted by torrential rain. Slight change of plans - the dish will now be going on the flat concrete outbuilding roof. This is due to the fact that my dad wants to re-render the house wall in the near future... and he has tomato plants sprawling up it! The positive aspect is that I'll be able to use my previous 76mm pole stand I used for my Channel Master and the set up should be easier as it's basically working at "ground level" on the flat roof. That dish and polar mount is heavy... wouldn't want to carry it up the ladder (VS - be very careful with your Gibby if you are to mount it on the wall). The bad bit is that my arc range will be limited to between 37.5W (possibly a partial illumination from 45W) to around 36E with partial illumination to around 53E due to various trees. Annoying but... better than nothing. Will put work in progress pics up soon. [/QUOTE]
