[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 556348, member: 302061"] Getting ready for testing new dish.:) In todays pictures you will see the mounting bracket that I fabricated. It uses simple hardware that was available from the local hardware store. The pipe mast has a hose clamp just below the mast brackets to prevent the assembly from slipping down and allows for easy azimuth rotation. The large threaded U bolt is used to adjust elevation and has hex nuts on both sides of the plate. I set the dish to south and then adjust the elevation with the board and protractor. My dish elevation is 42 degrees and I will select a strong satellite as close to south as possible. It's a good starting point. Here are todays pictures- :-pointr [/QUOTE]
