150 cm Fortec dish

[pmb1010]

looks like fortec now has in their dish stable a 150cm dish
Weighs 37 kg.
The 120cm dish weighs 17kg. Wonder what the difference is that would make it double.

Was wondering about the wall mount option would it need some special bracket or the normal universal mount probably one that is a bit stronger than the 36" 's wall mount.

I can see a 120cm or maybe a 150cm on my roof but the 180cm is too big. Might just be what the doctor ordered.

Thanks.

The only practical way I can get one like this is I either have to collect it myself = not possible or the insane shipping for the 120cm + needs to be fixed.

actually, thats what I ended up doing.
Luckily, one of the software vendors for a program we use at workl, had a training seminar in a hotel a few blocks away from Sadoun's location.
It's a 4 hour thruway drive for me from WNY.

So I rented a mini-van on my companies $, and picked up a 120cm dish.
Fit in the van nicely. Lots of room to spare. Finished the seminar gig and drove back home.

Brian is the counter guy (nice guy) helped me get the paperwork completed and get it loaded.

With the 120cm (4 footer) on the roof up about 20 feet, it looks small. 5 footer would be OK in it's current spot.
