Cool big dishes

Of course my friends that my last statement was meant as a joke!

As we were saying in general the preparation work is the only cumbersome part on C band systems.
In my personal installation case finding the arc was easy to the point that I don't even use a compass; may sound crazy but I have my true south identified by a couple of reference points.
My 12 hours spent on the first attempt to install my C band dish was the problem with the mast diameter that was too small and the material too thin that I ended damaging the mast tip with the set screws.
The whole experience about installing my own C band dish is priceless for the rest I use my credit card.
