[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1006907"] Wrsp concreting the pole into the ground, I did it like this: [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/channel-master-120-for-28-2e-in-rural-southern-sweden.162543/#post-896529']Channel Master 120 for 28.2E in rural southern Sweden[/URL] It is still solid, and even though it wasn't meant for polar mount, I managed to get it plumb so that none of my spirit levels shows any problems. I used 4 bags of concrete, bought them in a local builder's depot for about GBP 20 IIRC. You may find something cheaper elsewhere. Most modern non-metallic paints. Good option is car spray-paint. Most other members use this. The mount will probably let you do H2H, but with an actuator, you need to decide on west-facing or east-facing setup (actuator left or right). Actual range is probably 80-100 degrees or so (I would guess), with the step-size being coarse with the actuator extended fully. There are various schemes to moving the fastening poinst for the arms for achieving more centered range. There are several threads that touch upon this on the forum. [/QUOTE]
