My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | Good grief!  No drip loops and I bet the entry holes aren't sealed either. Let's hope it was a DiY job, not a "profeshunal" | ||
