have a go its great fun
cheapo plaxus 18deg lnb ws1 conical scaler and oversize lnb bracket
my televes 1m did better than the cm 1.2 as its a damn site easier to mount the lnb on the televes using the oversize mount and wooden wedges (pegs)
got dozen or so from 40e and a couple from 5w...
spot on
thats where the fortec had just come down from its (summer) upturned waterbutt mount :eek:
even by my lax standards it was a bridge too far
Excellent - another fan of tyre mounts
good effort -close but no cigar
the bonus prize was the Patent CM pallet mount on the shed roof I'm...
I love this section
my dish farm,
top Left CM1.2 polar mount cband
right 1.0 Televes h-h mount
Bottom L 90cm Televes, tyre mount

those feed supports look all wrong to me whaddaya think
1.7 m used to be a standard size if I remember right, it was...
seham, Im 20miles south of you I get 26e badr4 at 70% on a 90cm televes you might get away with lidl dish pointing through the window
look at where the neighbours sky dishes point can you see that direction from a window?
