Hey there. I just ran out of time to get the 9 footer hooked up last summer. Mostly because i couldn't figure out where the heck i wanted to put it. What a gorgeous dish. I got it all fine tuned and am getting signals that are as strong as my 10' mesh. Wonderful! Thank you Chewie!
It cost me $35.00 in nuts/bolts/locks and $150.00 for the pipe. I dug the hole raised the pole, and welded it to the shipping container, and put the mount on the pole and put each panel up one at a time, and hand tightened the 100 bolts, and then went back and tightened them all down. I then did a quick bird lock.
Today, i fine tuned and ran the horizontal/vertical Coax Quad shield to the house. I still need to bury the cable and do a proper tie into the house.
But so far VERY Happy!

I wish you lived nearby. I would have grabbed em both as I am in the market for a 1.2 meter motorized and a bud! Here in Tennessee no one is into this hobby! At least from what I have seen!
Im in Cookeville. Are you nearby? There was one guy who responded to my "anyone in Cookeville area" post, but that was like one of his only post ever. Lol
Since you are in Tennessee hooefully you have a sale on some stuff I can use one day.
Maybe we can help each other out sometime if needed. I may be adding to my collection soon.
Any 1.2 meter dishes?
I am looking at getting one to try out on my dms international sg6100 "monster motor" to see if it is indeed a monster.
My fiberglass dishes would kill that motor. I have like 10 to 15 in my shed.
