Knocked my 80cm motorized off by 10 degrees.
I had to get out there today to loosen and twist back in place.
Odd it didn't leave any marks on the rusty mounting pole.I would have expected scratch marks.
Still no power here,trees blocking roads.Areas of the state that do have power are reporting gas stations with no gas.

I swear I used to get a higher quality reading on 101w tp 12060,like high 80's with a coolsat.
Now I am lucky to get 70.Other tp's on that bird are fine.
Still no power here.

That's the price one pays for planting ones pole in 1 foot of sand - and you thought I went over board with 20 bags of ready mix ( my bud didn'd move) .lol

yep my bud did not move but my friend up the road thought i was going over over board too with with my 16 foot pole with 5 feet in the ground and 5 bags of ready
mix and now he wants to know where i got my pole and he is trying to talk me out of my extra 7 1/2 foot bud dish.

1' of sand? I'm not quite sure what your talking about Stan. The pole didn't budge but rather the dish. With a pole of your size and weight, I would have doubled the anount of concrete that I normally use. Nonetheless, all good in bud land.
