3, all motorized - 85 cm, 90 cm, and 12 feet

 

[rv1pop]

How many dishes do I own? set of melmac, set of stoneware -- OH wrong kind.

1-10 ft (perforated) and 2 - 6ft winegard (small mesh), one 6 ft damaged,
one 7 1/2 Sami small mesh,
2 -10ft unknown brand small mesh.
all on ground being assembled then waiting for holes and foundations - maybe next week. Probably will mostly be fixed one for AMC4 C & KU, one for PBS although I have untested actuators for each. (Plus one hand crank tripod mount - probably for a 6ft.

Working now:
1M Channel Master / Primestar for G25 = 1/2 of Glorystar
Geosat Pro 90cm on AMC4 = other 1/2 Glorystar
75 cm Channel master / Primestar G10R (G17/G18???) for RTN /ABC news, UW
Dish500 for NASA, Angel One..

Then, promised but not picked up yet, two 1 M channel master dishes and if I want and can move it without destruction of too much property or myself = describled as "26 foot solid concrete dish on a pole, actuator may be broken off. The dish is facing west."

 

[wainwright]

I currently have 5 dishes mounted:

1 500 and 1 300 for Dishnetwork
1 unused VOOM dish at 61.5
1 unused Starband dish at 129 (remember the original Philly locals? This dish is just waiting for a new FTA receiver!!!)
1 1M pointed at 97 with Coolsat 6000 (fixed)
1 Dish 300 in garage (yes, this makes 6).

Did I mention the dish at 129 that's looking for a new FTA receiver?

Wow, with sooooo many channels FTA offers....
I have one motorized dish, one fixed dish set on AMC 3, two 1.0 meter and a 1.2 meter Primestar dishes in my carport, and a 5 foot dish (yep! In my carport) and.... a 8 foot Odum solid dish used for the C Band FTA and 4DTV, and a 7.5 mesh dish set up and waiting to be used for FTA...
one Directv dish for my subscription to Directv, two Primestar 84E (guess again... in my carport!). Oh! also a 10 foot mesh dish given to me last month (no, this ain't in my carport).
