Got this dish from the Russian firend of mine, he works in the army.
installed it near my house but neighbours are complaining, must take it down, anyone wants a free dish? but you must collect, it's a bit bulky.

I'm sure your Russian friend could fix you up with some Polonium 210 for the neighbours

Thanks fergiz,
I was beginning to worry that my little joke was too foreign

c'mon guys, no other thoughts on this?

I think it's a nice piece of kit, the diameter of the dish is

67 meters !!!

In case anybody is wondering, this is a radio telescope (Lovell Telescope) of Jodrell Bank Observatory which is part of Manchester Uni. http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/ and is located at
53° 14' 10.5" N
2° 18' 25.7" W

I passed through this place last year.

jontydog · 05-09-07, 02:41 PM

Alright alright :

:

will be more original next time. here's actually mine setup, or what it will be when I finish.
1. is the hub, where all the cables come and go, I only hooked a few of them in a rush
2. living room before...
3. ... and after. again, when I finish with it it'll have more connectors, 3 LAN, 4 SAT (re-routable from the hub), 16 phono (L/R/video/Svideo/spdif...) and 4 speaker cables that stick from the corners of the room for surround. oh yes, and the phone

4. my new shiny tinkering corner (or as they call it an office), this is the only room where I finished the sockets. under the desk, left to right : double socket with 4 SAT, 8 Phono and 2 S-Video, another double socket with 3 LAN RG45, and a single one with the two BT sockets.

the bedrooms have one double plate with LAN, sat, phono and a single with BT.

the kitchen got a phono and sat + data cable (haven't decided what for yet

, likely to control the boiler) and a VGA in the wall for LCD screen, which will hook up to the server under the stairs next to the hub of wires.

few...

As to the dish, I am still deciding where to put my triax88 and technomate H-H motor. guys are comming to do the roof, so I better decide quick and use their scaffolding
