Friday FTA Fun Poll 10/24

[Mr Tony]

This weeks question....

I know some of us have a dish that isnt being used (yet) so lets just throw this one out

EXCLUDING DBS dishes (because some of us have dozens of them) how many C-Band or KU Band dishes do you have that are not set up/sitting in the garage?

none..all my dishes are in use
1-3
4-6
7-9
more than 10

 

[Mr Tony]

3 dishes

-36" Geosat Pro
-40x30 Primestar
-T90

There is a C-Band that gets moved in and out of the garage but that don't count as it gets moved out all the time

 

[DishDigger]

All of my dish (singular) is in use - ha. I do have the "pay" dish in use most of the time & the FTA for the "boss". Maybe later I will increase the number to include "unused"....

 

[gillham]

I have a 36" TMT (TMT Home maybe?) mounted, but not in use.
I need to run some cable in the crawl space to get it connected and I was having too much fun this summer to get to it. Oops.
Hopefully this month I will get it cabled and motorized.

 

[phlatwound]

In use:

10' Perfect 10 mesh
.9 3ABN

In the wings:

1-P* 40x30
1-.9 BJU
1-.9 Fortec Star

3-7 1/2' BUDs (UniMesh, Parabolics, Perfect 10)
1-8' BUD (Bentley?)
1-10' BUD(UniMesh)

and after Saturday, 1 Birdview 8.5 footer.......for my wife.

 

[eurosport]

I voted "All of my dishes are in use" -but, I have 2 more "round" Primestars that aren't in use...but they're still in other yards! So, 'till I go get 'em... they're set up...but not in use.

 

[ACRadio]

More than 10...

4 - Channel Master oval offsets
2 - 10 ft mesh primes
1 - 7.5 ft mesh prime
2 - DirecWay 74cm offsets
2 - 1 meter rectangular Prodelin offsets
3 - 1.2 meter Prodelin offsets

 

[eurosport]

2 - 1 meter rectangular Prodelin offsets

I wish I had one of those....they just look cool!:up

 

[Lak7]

2 unused

1 - 10' Unimesh disassembled
1 - 80cm in shed, on tripod for emergency use

 

[ACRadio]

I wish I had one of those....they just look cool!:up

...and they work pretty good too!!

 

[sikma]

C.M. 1.2M and P* dish in use.
6' mesh and 3 more P*'s in the rafters

 

[linuxman]

1 - P* 1M Round
1 - P* 84e eliptical
2 - P* 75e eliptical
2 - Perfect 10 7.5 footer C-Band
1 - KTI 7.5 footer C-Band
1 - Unimesh 10 footer
1 - Birdview solid 8.5 footer until Saturday

 

[Inno]

4-6 is what I voted,
1. 10ft Orbitron in the rebuild process almost done, just have to pour some cement soon! Hopefully this fall before snow/frost.
2. Channel Master Elliptical Offset(can't remember size 75e I think), will probably put that one on the garage and experiment with some 2deg. spacing for AMC21 & G18
3. Star Choice 30"(approx) with dual non stacked LNB nothing planned for it yet
4. Star Choice smaller elliptical dish with so far no LNB but it's set up for dual non stacked units. I'm not sure if it's even big enough for any serious FTA but we'll count it anyway.

 

[jayelem]

I chose 1-3 because because technically the 4th dish is mounted on the house and just needs final adjustments.

1 x 90cm 3ABN Dish /in packing carton . (which I'm undecided as to what I'll do with it, I'm hoping a family member gets the FTA bug)
1 x 8.5 Solid Birdview (minus/feeder support arms -project dish)
1 x 10 ft Paraclipse ( I swear I was gonna put it up this Fall )

Overall my biggest problem has been finding time to install my Paraclipse C-band dish.

 

[gremlin411]

I said 1-3 which all my dishes LOL
1. 6' prodelin offset ( need pole )
2. Channel Master 75e ( need pole )
3 1.2 meter prodelin offset ( back on pole after Ike just want to run new cable and maybe put some pvc in ground for it and 75e cable to run thur. Just trying to get the hillbilly out of my setup wife might be happy then. )

 

[Corrado]

Right now I have a 10' mesh dish and my Fortec 6' disassembled for storage in the garage.

My Unimesh 10' and Prodelin 6' for daily use.

Always with an eye open for others.
