Here's an updated pic of my crop, lots of rain this summer so they have really been popping up.

Strictly beautiful. An innovative HOA would REQUIRE dishes...

Jullius,
That 90cm you have up there looks identical to my newly found 1M dish, even to the lnbf holder and "edging" around the circumference of the dish/ as well as the mounting bracket hardware. Do you know who made it , by any chance ? http://www.satelliteguys.us/fta-shack/183898-dish-id-please.html

Black dish is at 28.2e and the other dish has a motor (45e to 45w). It is at 15w in the picture. Nothing too fancy but it does me.


Regards

The lineup.
129 ku on 1.0m true focus
101 ku and 97 ku on 1.2m muzak dish
83 ku on 1.2m muzak
83ku through 129ku on 1.0m channelmaster powered by Sadouns DG380 mover
95 c band on 1.8m stationary true focus
91 c band on 7.5' mesh.

It’s not pretty but it gets the job done, I love the 75 Cm they get everything and are really easy to install.

I’m going to put more dishes on the cat walk wall

Latest Pics of my Dish Farm

Cables are a mess. I'm waiting to put up another BUD and a Direcway dish before I buy a 500' spool and do things right.

Some supplemental pictures of the SD180G and new ground level farm

Here are some pictures of my work during the past 2-3 weeks involving the addition of PortaBUD (Sadoun SD180G) and a new motorized dish, the WSI WS9036 with SG-9120 motor. Note that the WS9036 and SG-9120 are not installed yet, but will be mounted on the pallet with the J-Pole seen in the foreground in pic #3.

This is the beginning of a new dish farm, located at ground level, which will add three C-Band dishes (a microBUD, PortaBUD, and the Perfect 10 7.5' BUD). Pics #1, #2, #5, #6, #7 and #8 show the fresh runs of coax from the new dish farm back up to the existing shed roof farm. The coax run consists of two Perfect Vision PVCX3B dual coax cables, for a total of four new cables. These are suspended from short metal garden fence posts and attached with UV-resistant pull ties. The runs join the existing cabling system on the shed roof. Pics #3, #4, and #9 show the first addition to the ground level farm, the Sadoun SD180G (a.k.a. PortaBUD). Pic #10 shows the two existing motorized Ku/DBS dishes in the roof farm. Also visible in the background is the 1 meter Channel Master, which is now fixed on AMC-21 for PBS.

Updated pics with the Spoon.

 

[SpiffWilkie]

Not mine ...but I think this qualifies as a dish farm all by its lonesome:

 

[joncl]

The overflow from the ground based dishes here at home on the roof, they are a mixture of C band fixed and move, Ku band fixed and move, C/Ku band move and 1 x S band (2.5ghz) fixed.

It works adequately if you are in an inner suburban area with no VHF ... I will be putting something else up there soon, and a long-range antenna aimed at Baton Rouge on the other pole (the taller pole on the 1 meter Channel Master mount)...
