[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 884566, member: 325666"] ..Now I'm wondering just how accurate dishpointer actually is in situations like this.. I'm attaching a photo of my vista from Carls location to the offending semi ..which I believe was built in the 1930s .. So doing some cig packet calcs.. I believe these are approx. 7.6 mts from dpc to ridge tiles ..and I then need another 2 mtrs clearance according to dishpointer. So by my reckoning Carls view would be his height to bottom edge of the dish (1.4 mtrs) plus 2mtrs at the distance to the house ie 3.4 mtrs ...so no way he's gonna get a sniff.. Tom on the other hand is 2 floors up and halfway to apex (approx. 6.3 mtrs high) so 6.3 + 2 mtrs = 8.3 mtrs which is why he can see over the semi in ku..._just_.. with about 0.7 mtrs to spare.. Now If I could just move that semi a couple of yards to the left .. Told ya I'm mad lol I suspect in light of What Nelson found in his tests ..this is a no go scenario for me. c'est la vie ...that said Carl _might_ just get a sniff of 66E on a good day.. [/QUOTE]
