Here is some pics of my setup the dish use to be high up on a pole in the garden but since i am on the side of a mountain it does not need to be high up in the spring i changed to a new dish face as you can see in the pics dish was high up now it is low but still get 70.5e to 61w at the moment the pics are with the c-band lnb-f on the dish but will take some with ku-band feedhorn on tomorrow, I will also add some pics of AFN and other pics over the next few days

The dish and lnb are also fully earthed to protect incase of lightning strikes

Well if you get a drum of it over after a job, then remember the guys

Yes wod it's not cheap but not cheap either.
