My 11720 is hitting 67 peak tonight. Maybe Equity fed the squirrels
Seems they only feed them at night! This morning back down to 45, after work (at around 7 PM) still at 45, and when I checked shortly after 9 PM, back up to 60! No change to 11799.
11718 = 61%
11798 = 90%
Invacom QPH031 Quad L/C lnbf

I notice the same thing. 60 right now.
Just read in another thread that g-10 is just about out of fuel and may have to go in inclined orbit mid March. That said it appears they are allowing it to drift to the limits of the box. This has got to have an influence on what were seeing.

Perfect. The forecast is for some warmer weather and I wanted to give it a shot moving my dish again this weekend (now that I finally figured out what the Power Scan does on my receiver...hey, I'm a slow)
Hi Iceberg,
You see to get a strong signal with the smallest dish Winegard 30' and you are also in a northern place. I am about to install a motor and debating if I should replace my winegard 30" with a bigger one. Do you know why a 30" Winegard can outperform bigger dishes of other brands?

The Winegard is built like a rock. I've had mine for 4+ years now with no issues. Some of the larger dishes are bunk. I've seen better results on the Winegard than other dishes.
I also have a 36" dish from SatelliteAV and that one is really good too. I know a bunch of us have those dishes (in one form or another....as in brand) and they work really good. I'd use that on my motorized but the way my setup is I can't go any bigger than a 30" (I have it on the backside of my roof and being as far north as I am the dish is low...A 36" wont clear the roof
)Thanks Iceberg. Good to know Winegard is a good dish. I had it for about 3 years and it is pointed to Galaxy 3c to receive CCTV, never had any problems rain or shine. I'll try a motor on it first to see how it works for all the other birds, most importantly G10R.

Think of the stories your kids can tell about you, in later years ! You'll probably develop into some sort of crazed techie monster !!
