My System: Technomate 1500 ci 90cm Gibertini Inverto Silver Tech 0.3lnb Moteck 2100A motor | We had a big solar flare hit us on 14th december. I was so strong that it was precited that Northern italy could see the aurora. Solar activity is whats causing global warming, but we probably arent helping. Clive | ||
