[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 808044, member: 325666"] Not exactly a recognised sport ... But my new Superior dark motor arrived by courier just after 9 AM .. Unpacked and a strong cuppa inside me .. Up went the ladders to the TD88 Down came the whole dish and SG2100 motor .. Pole checked for vertical ..TD88 removed from the SG2100 and fitted at ground level to the Dark motor...elevation angle reset to accomodate the new motor .. A mark had been left on the pole to give me rough South .. The whole assembly carried up the ladder and popped on the pole .. Adjusted everything using the 600HD pro meter I bought last year... Then nipped home as the TD88 is mounted at the back of my dads house 3 doors down .. Checked alignment using RASD @45 west ...and MIR at 66 East ..and of course BBC world news at 0.8W .. results on the F15 showed RASD at 9.2 db MIR fluctuating(as expected 2db to 6.2 DB) BBC World (13.5 db) ..and all this in under 1 hour 30 minutes... A new personal best for me ...but sadly not a medal event.. ;) rgds VS [/QUOTE]
