Thank you very much for truly having the best Satellite forum on the web. Winning the Fortec receiver tonight was beyond belief! I kept hoping my wife or one of my daughters wouldn't call me away from the computer. Once I get it I hope I don't have to bother you with to many questions. My zip is 49242 and after scanning some Echostar sats I'll probably just shoot for G10 this winter and add a motor this spring . I'll contact you Pete real soon . Thanks again for all the fun and support! Sincerely, dishMIKE
 
You are welcome dishMIKE I am so glad you won it, this is NOT the receiver that Fortec sent me to evaluate and review but a BRAND NEW receiver I will be keeping the older one and be giving you a brand new one! Here are all the angles you will need without the motor, let me know the mailing details and it will be on its way. Big THANKS to Fortec, Sadoun, and SatelliteGuys.US who made this possible : )
