[birdhouse]

I finally had some time to spend on my new hobby and got the mast installed. I used 2&1/4" fence pipe set 32" in the ground with 3- 80 lb bags of cement mixed and pored to hold it in place. At the present I only have the motor mounted and it’s about 5' above ground.
I’ll have to run the cable about 90' underground to get to the house and part of will have to go under a stone road. That section will be ran through conduct.
Before I mount the dish would someone be kind enough to check my calculations and let me know if this is correct for a starting point to find sat 74w. I know I’ll have to fine the dish to get the best signal once I find 74w.
