Does she do lot of Internet-based telephony? :=)My *wife* has a Skype box.
Even with twice the price I would seriously consider going to York to pick it up.Go ahead ! Buy them all and I'll take the 5m from your location in Denmark
For the moment the price is very interesting for the 3.8m , the 5m is probably around the same...
a) Very interesting - do you know said Gentleman?Joe is Joseph, a blacksmith (when not moonlighting)

Check the polarmount is actually with the dish, they are a nightmare to bolt to anything else
(I do have the earlier version here - welded to an Ajak H2H drive - if somebody needs it)
Late to the party but it's tempting, and it's only just over 200 miles away. Planning is a problem but this looks ideal as a work around Flat Bed Trailer. But maybe I should finish the current projects first.
Agreed, English planning law is an ass...you can put these god awful solar panels on you roof and no one bats an eyelid, but a satellite dish...the planning guestapo will be round in a flash!!Even with twice the price I would seriously consider going to York to pick it up.
Difficult to assess condition - these things most probably have been sitting around in their boxes for 10's of years.
Could be rusty, could be bent..,
Would definitely require a visitation trip.
But that's doable too...
Home mounting is no longer an option, though.
Denmark just doesn't match Latvia, where @RimaNTSS seems to be able to erect anything he bloody likes...
Would have to find somewhere in an industral park nearby (which is not impossible - there plenty of places for rent ATM).
Let's see where this auction is going - we can PM if things get serious.
Not an issue if it is "portable" like my old 3m (or on a trailer;-)I didn't find it difficult to get PP for the 1.8m. As long as it's in a reasonable location (i.e. not on top of your house) and neighbours are happy, there shouldn't be any issues.
The 3.8m one is a different matter altogether, though...
........ at just turned 66 years my body is telling me to try and reduce my workload....
I hope they are bought by a Sat U.K. member, or members though, cos i,d like to see these monster dishes built and working ....
To beat yoursCrazy people! Why you need such a big dishes?! Just kidding. I wish you luck, who ever gets those Patriot dishes.
