The weather was finally good enough to get out and clean the dish up:th_thumbs20up:
I got the new BUD on the pole yesterday:bigthumbup:
mengram
It is not tracking the arc very well as I can only get a signal from 91.0W to 101.0W, more tweaking needed:whoopdeedo:

Looking good, mengram...
Very nice dish, where you able to make it track the arc?
I worked on the BUD yesterday and found the feed was off center by 2 inches, installed some makeshift guy wires to center the feed and now I can get at least a few channels on every satellite from 58.0W to 139.0W. I still have some tweaking to do, if the weather is nice tomorrow, I will take a small tv and receiver out to the dish and hopefully wrap this project up:yes2:

Here are a few pics of the completed project:bigclap:

hello Mangram
that looks very good, glad you go it going, how tall is the pole?
Regards.

Looks great mengram! Turned out to be a really rewarding find for you.
It's between 5-6 ft. above ground and 4 ft. in the ground.Quote:
