[QUOTE="zorbua, post: 904887, member: 320724"] Although I already had more than an inkling way back in 1992 when my company Deutsche Wella brought a massive 11meters complete Satellite system at our work place. What really got me started was when way back in 1996 when I set up a fixed SMW 1.1Dish, with a Analogue (Amstrad) Rx for just Astra 19 & H/B 13E, this was followed then by a Nokia 9200s (grand Rx) which I still have up to today. At that time to be honest I didn't bother much about poles being plumb or whatever, but I got these two birds and I was happy about it. After spending a year stint at Malta Drydocks getting to know about Marine Satcoms, I sort of got more interested in Satellite hobbies ( and this progressed even further) when spending about 4 years with an Italian/Maltese joint venture in VSATS satellite technology. From then on I sort of never looked back and I was really hooked into it. Today I have 4, different sized Dishes, all motorized, and an assortment of Receivers - the latest being added is an F15 Rx. I guess feeding hunting, as Costactc said is my first priority. Oh just almost forgot - almost but - I really appreciate what this forum does to all members new and old and that I have learned much from it and this I say with conviction. [/QUOTE]
