C-Band NPRM

[comfortably_numb]

Currently staying on the 9th floor of The Strat Hotel in Las Vegas. Outside my window there are 4 C-band dishes on NPRM's (probably for the sports book).

Never seen an NPRM for a C-band dish before, so thought I'd share

You must not have seen the setup Linuxman had many years ago. Multiple C and Ku Dishes on the roof and parking lot of his building.

Here are a few from when he was moving and had to downsize

Oh I like those images! I have an 8.5-foot Perfect C-band in the backyard that I've never had up for lack of a pole. This gives one hope. I wonder what those NPRM cost.

Considering the prices for new ones, that's a bargain if you live local and can pick it up.

There are a couple hundred plus 4.5 meter C band dishes in the Alaska bush, there are no traditional building materials available usually "rock boxes" are used to anchor them down. A variety of surface mounts are used whatever works.

8.5-foot

You can buy from here:

You don't want to be putting a 8.5 ft dish on one of them it will blow away,

Cant you concrete a pole in the ground ? if you can make sure you adapt some sort of a leveling system.

 

[cyberham]

Concrete is permanent. My life has voluntarily never been permanent. Might move from N.S. back to B.C. The last concrete I dropped in 2007 (16 yards) is still buried in the ground in B.C. with nothing attached to it.

Please keep personal attacks out of this forum.

I mounted an 8ft CM offset on railway ties buried just below ground surface. Hasn't blown over yet! Likely not best for a rooftop though can't bury anything there unless you can tie into the roof structure somehow.
Shouldn't be difficult to weld something like post #6 with some material from a local scrap yard.

Here is a link to the NPRM install at the Ti shop. Added three safety chains tied into the rafters to minimize the chance of a fly-away, but it has never shifted even in heavy winds. Five years later and still tracking the arc.

10' C-band Dish Rescue and Non-Pen Install on Titanium Shop

Several months ago I responded to a Craigslist ad and rescued a very nice 10 footer from certain destruction. The new home owner did not appreciate the dish blocking her view of the American River... Imagine that! Was able to carefully navigate the back yard and position the trailer directly...

When I saw this post I was thinking "Notice for Proposed Rule Making" (NPRM) FCC lingo...

Here is a link to the NPRM install at the Ti shop....

The only thing more beautiful than a 10-foot mesh is one on top of a roof in the clear able to see lower on the horizon.

I took one like that to the dump before my last move. I stupidly thought it would be too awkward to move cross country. When the 80-foot moving truck arrived, I realized my mistake.

To get round planning permission here in the uk i built a mobile base out of rail track, i had a 2.3 DH sat on it in the picture below, its now been converted to a tilt over wind up movable base with a paraclipse sat on it.
