[northgeorgia]

Well, sort of. Interesting though!

over 200kg kinda kills the portable mode

Over-engineered I like old school porta-bud

True... but if you're going to go portable, do it in style.

What, you're supposed to roll that for portability?

Inflates in a few minutes. Saw a demo at NAB a few years ago.

I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll watch me some eScapes!

Tron - show 'em a picture on your 6' Sadoun on a pallet.

Iceberg - did you ever operate one of your Sadoun 6'ers from the bed of your truck?
I seem to recall a Ku dish there one time.

BITD we had a rental BUD (Superbowl and some other events). A few times the renter ended up buying the BUD. Then we'd just drop it and bury the cable.

?That looks like it could float on water. lol

I think it looks more like the Ion Cannon on HOTH.

Back in the 1980s, the guy that got me into this satellite hobby had a 10' Unimesh on a trailer for demo. It must have been tricky driving down these back farm roads around here. It looks pretty much like what Magic Static posted.

I picked up an 8 ft solid a few weeks ago. I'm starting to get some ideas!

If you just can't stick a hole in the ground... search for threads on the 6' Prodelin solid dish. Lots of members have 'em. Linuxman & Phlatwound have fine pictures, as do many others. The dishes nearly always come on a big non-penetrating roof mount (NPRM). ?And are often cheap or free. That mount should hold your 8' dish, just close to the ground. The 6' offset is a top notch dish, but not really the best choice for 95% of the members.
