I finally did it!!!

I've placed an order for a Ringer T-Shirt and a cap, all adorned with the Satellites.co.uk logo!!!

Whether Cafepress will accept my Visa Debit card or not is another question...

My System: Sky UK family pack. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (4.6E/5E/13E/16E/19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA (with dragon cam), Coship CDVB 2300A, Fortecstar Lifetime Ultra, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S, 2250kb


The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue

You may well find the dish is in use for EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer At Point of Sale) Our local B&Q has a big dish mounted on the side which must be for the same purpose as it hasnt been up more than 18 months or so..

Still waiting...

Must be pretty busy for the delivery to be this delayed...

Oh well, I decided to make a cover for a Journal for personal use only (I.E. not public sale, unless someone requests one), cos I want something to doodle in...

Does seem a long time, but I seem to remember that Chris's clock took a long time. Mine arrived in just less than two weeks I believe.
