[QUOTE="John, post: 1075605, member: 175005"] It was time to scrap the Heath Robinson 1.2 Mtr test rig set-up and construct something a bit more functional for either C-band / Ku / Ka test use.... and possible inspire others. This is also a way of getting around Local Planning Permission as the structure is classed as 'Not Fixed/Permanent'. Inspired by recent picture from forum member Nelson, who also has a 1.8 CM mobile version & others, to dig out my spare 1.8 CM that was sat doing nothing, and have decided to construct something mobile as well using spare bits and bobs of left over metal off-cuts etc and a pair of discarded Industrial catering trolleys that were found 'skipped' a few years ago. Basic idea is to wheel the mobile assembly out from the garage and onto the driveway next to the 2.2 mtr C-band set-up and manually move it East to West on the large castors with brakes. Elevation control is done with a spare 36" Qual actuator.
