Copper nails in the base do the same thing.

Hehehehe....when i lived 15 years ago at my parents house i had a 3 meter dish behind the garage, i had perfect view to the east but the west blocked by many high trees.

Anyway, i cut them all down when they were at work, a friend helped me and we did it quick with the chainsaw and the neighbour wondered what we were doing and didn't say much as it was our trees.

After my parents came home from work they were really pissed off and it took some days to calm them down a bit.

But hey! i got Panamsat at 45 West easy at an elevation of 4 degress from the ground.

It was only Galavision at the time broadcasting from there.

Why don't you put the dish on the roof with a high pole?

I know the feeling matey to get those signals in the curosity drives you to maddness not realising what your doing or about to do lol.

I think i will go with rolfw's idea of copper nails no hangin around diging holes just go there in the cover of darkness do a s.a.s mission 5 nails in each tree no one will know.

I did think about getting a 3 meter by 3inch diamter pole but the weight on this thing is quit abit and im sure on heavy wind loads this thing will get pull the bolts out including the screw plugs very easily. Im thinking of doing my shed up soon break it down and build a bigger shed up using blocks and once i done that that will be a perfect place to mount that 3 meter pole just looking forward to it all.

What birds can you hit, dish looks good.

Alcoa perforated dish, American.

They performed well, they also did a model which was solid.

They were the competitor to IRTE in Italy which makes similar dishes, people was a bit confused as they thought it was IRTE.

**T_G** · 07-06-2005

I think I read somewhere that the copper nail is a myth...maybe mythbusters? I think that if you drill a nice thin & deep hole near the root of the tree downwards with a hand drill (nice and quiet) and then inject it with normal available battery acid it does the business. ..

There is only one solution: Chainsaw, quick and effecient.

**Lancelot** · 07-06-2005

Ringbarking is the answer gentlemen.

Run around the trunk of the tree with a knife or saw leaving a gap of 5mm+ in the bark.
the tree is dead before you leave !

Rootkill from your friendly local garden centre.

Pick a dark night and get digging, and hope the roots aren't too deep and widespread.

N.B. I do not condone this action if the trees aren't yours and have only used this method on a particularly obstinate treetrunk.

With my luck it would work and tree would fall on my house -

We believe you Llew thousands wouldn't but we do

**Llew** · 18-06-2005

Beleive me, it works on a mature evergreen tree. Takes about six months though before the leaves turn brown. Owner of the tree then conveniently removes it.

I have to add that it is not my personal experience...

Well friends, the subject of trees, cutting and poisioning has been touched in quite a few posts already. I feel we are repeating a well chewed but interesting matter here. As this is an repeated question it qualifies for an idiot guide as a Sticky thread in this (or other section - Rolf, any ideas where?) section.
There we could maybe share all the botanic information needed to get rid of trees and other organic obsticles, share information regarding legal aspects of removing trees that do not belong to us etc etc.
Anyone here feels up to the task?

**CrouchingTiger** · 27-08-2005

Hiya fellas

Been a long time i been away but back now i see alot of nice ideas added to the thread and its turned into a sticky niiiiice thanks admin and to all the people who contributed.

Ive rcntly sold my sat system but i didnt sell the dish as i knew i will be thinking of putting the system back up soon so will need the dish plus i liked it and took me alot of time to ge the dish i liked and at £60 definatly no selling lol.

BUD MAN asked what could i recive i do remember getting turksat at 30 east and abit further all the way to 5 or 8 degrees west i definatly couldnt get 26 or 28 degree east as cos of the trees after the trees i could get a few birds before 12 degree east hotty but they wernt very clear as u can see from the pics theres been some seriouse modding on the co rotor a chunky hole drilled right through it i definatly know its not a complete co rotor itself as i was looking it seems to be a carbon fibre chunk part of come old co rotor that has a bore drilled through it about 1.5 inch in diamter and on one end i got a c120 invacom and then i got a feedhorn wich i dont even know is made to work with that dish so its abit rough mayb thats why my signals wernt too good im assuming but could be wrong.

The dish where the lnb is does have its orginbal ring to witch a co rotor either by ads or chapparel can be mounted.
