Could I ask you good folks for a little bit of advice?
I live in Dalarna in Central Sweden. In the last 8 years I have had exellent reception of all channels on 28.2 E. After Astra 2E have gone into service I'm struggeling to get good reception of BBC. I get reception part of the day on horizontal trsp and reasonable good recption of vertical but allmost no bad weather margin. My 1,5 Gibertini have served well but I'm now considering an upgrade to a Channel Master 180 that should do the trick.
My problem is that when we moved in our new house we invested in getting a builder to dig a 1,5m deep hole to get to frostfree depth and fill a big drain pipe with cement with a 70mm pole now standing for all eternity. As I understand it a Channel Master 180 need a 4,5 inch pole. The dish is fairly well secluded and we NEVER see any stronger wind than 15m/s. Any ideas how to go around this problem?
