Interesting information about wind load Brian, I didn't realize that. I do like the Paraclipse mesh dishes due to their construction.

Great scaffolding/pole arrangement.

Can you step out the window onto the platform?

 

[RimaNTSS]

Yes, window is my actual door to balcony.

Google Earth has finally taken new high resolution photos of my place. The previous picture was from 2006. My dishes are clearly visible now. I was working on my 3m Channel Master Perf that day. I did take a picture of the farm around the same time also.

Mine are now visible from my place too

Magic, what do your neighbours say about your dishes? any complaints or just praise?

Cheers, K

First they think I'm nuts, until I'm watching a game they can't see. Then I'm eccentric, which is a politically correct word for nuts. Then it's "Mister" and "Sir" cause they need help with something and know I can fix it. LOL But nobody wants to get their own FTA on

Things Magic's neighbours are THINKING:1) I can't wait until we get a normal neighbour,2) Who does he think he is...NASA?,3) Are those things going to attract lightning?,4) I swear our used to work better before he put those things in the air!,5) Aren't there bylaws against that stuff!?6) I hope he doesn't own guns!

LOL, another one - Could he be part of SETI ?

My neighbor asked me what I was getting on my 6' C-Band dish. I told him NASA. He freaked out when I showed him the ISS coverage on the battery operated monitor out at the dish.

OMG, they drove by my place late last summer. (Streetview) But the overhead view, although better Quality than I remember it from about a year ago, doesn't show the dishes clearly.

Ok, now have a 1.0M ChannelMaster in the 'farm'. It's not the one from Sturgis that was in the 'for your perusal'. Just couldn't get it for a number of reasons. BUT, the other day on a service call, saw one that looked abandoned. Asked and, confirmed, it was. And, it was only 5 miles from here. removed the 8 blocks and loaded onto snow machine trailer("You can use that trailer". G-thanks) and hauled it 'home' today. A little clean-up is all it needs.
'Family'(LtoR) is 1.2@103 ,84e@125, .7m on BUD lip, 1.2@30, and the 1.0m @?? yet. (one .7m unused lying on slab beside BUD resting)

Nice FaT Air, but I cannot see the cat!

Great catch. Nice farm. I would worry when next to the sidewalk some A.H. would come by and just have to "play" with things.

Nothing to be worried about, all have been warned that there's a camera overlooking. (HA, Ha) One, for sure, is in plain sight.

Hopefully no one drives drunk on your street....
Bang... no more farm.
