Camo Dish

[jeallen01]

Here are a few I took "earlier"
;)

And, yes, the LNBF is mounted upside down because it was the only way I could bog the mounting to get a Sharp "White" unit close enough to the focal point of my old NEC dish (which had a non-standard LNBF fitment)!

Gaze on this and be aghast - but it works on 58E to 45W on 30m of cable (with an inline amp) and gives very good results!

The shiny horizontal bit of metal is a piece of car-exhaust perforated zinc strapping, doubled over, and the clamps include a car-exhaust clamp, a Jubillee clamp and a few nylon tiewraps"

And its been like that for nearly 2 years now without any problems (or water ingress)

Must have lost the JPG just now, so have reloaded it!

Cool - the dish reminds me of the paintjob on the Radio North Sea International ship Mebo 2

Love it, superb solution to a physical mismatch and great paint job, this is exactly what this section is about.

I like it jeallen01! Great with the bush in the back, sorta' blends in.

a) The four dishes at the bottom of the garden - between my garage on the right and my neighbour's garage on the left.

60cm Dish aimed at Astra 2 for my Sky+
[It works better than a Zone 1 Dodgy box dish. It is behind the big black dish you can just see in the centre right of a). The black dish is not currently aligned or painted]

c) 80cm Dish aimed at 30W
[in fact, this old Amstrad mesh dish used to belong to my neighbour until he got a dodgybox system!]


Rolfe - Thanks for that! Had to correct the order of the list above to match the new order of the photos!
