Getting there..... I wasn't satisfied with the 84e location and mount. So, I returned the DTV dish back to its original location. I thought the 84e would serve a better purpose to be used as a test bed for future lnbfs.

I looked for some NPRM units for the 84e but the supplied j-poles were not big enough to mount it. Plus, it would not be as portable.

Found this old beat up heavy duty "tool stand" on Craigs list.

After a little refurb and inverting the tool stand, it looks like it will do the job and doesn't look too bad. It's just light enough to be moved by one person and yet heavy enough to sustain minor wind gusts. If need be, I can always use some cinder blocks for additional weight.

Time to set up the 84e; hopefully it will be worth the effort.
