[QUOTE="lloowen, post: 651074, member: 309579"] At last I have managed to get my 1.8m prime focus dish and MTI AP8-TW 0.6dB lnb locked on to Astra2D from latitude 63 Sweden and picking up a good signal. Quite chuffed about that. However now I'm having problems with the wind! When moderately windy the dish wobbles. Someone suggested I drill lots of holes in the dish. I can see the logic in that but I really don't want to weaken the structure of the dish by drilling lots of holes in it. The dish is made from fiberglass and there appears to be no brand name on it, so I have no idea what the make and model is. As you can see from the attached photos, the dish is quite low to the ground. I've attached four nylon tape tensioners that are so taught, they might pull down the fence their attached to. Every thing is fixed and firm. I'm wandering if erecting wicker fencing panels around the back and the sides might make a difference. I also thought about carefully placing poles at the back of the dish in such a fasion that they don't actually lean against the dish, but prevent the dish from flexing backwards if it gets a full frontal gust. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
