[QUOTE="benwiddowson82, post: 947456, member: 406513"] Hi Guys, first time poster (under this username) so i'm wondering if one of you could offer me a bit of advice. I live in a house in Loughborough (east mids) and have a North facing garden with the house in front of most birds between 5w and 28.2e. At the bottom of the garden (probably about 10m back from the house) i use a small zone 1 dish to experiment with what i can find. With the dish on a small pole at the end of the garden i can easily get 19.2e/13e/28e/5w and the odd transponder on 1w. If i put the dish and pole in a flowerbed on top of a wall (about another 2 meters further back and about 4ft higher) i can get the same birds but not much else. I can also get a signal off KA-SAT as i have tooway broadband. I've decided i want to invest some time in a motorised system so today got myself a new 80cm dish, i didn't really want anything bigger as the garden isn't massive. I'm going to install a new mount in the garden, i can't add it to the house. I sat my 80cm dish on my wall mount this afternoon as i bit of a test but couldn't pick anything up at all, granted i wasn't being massively accurate as it was hammering it down with rain. Sorry for the long intro but my question is this: The pole will stand about 1-1.2m off the ground when installed, so should i install it at ground level or put it in the raised flower bed? Just after some advice before i get the cement mixer out. Thanks Ben [/QUOTE]
