I ventured to the highest point on the property, the roof and I couldnt get a clear shot at any quadrant of the sky but straight up. You seen my reply to Mark, we are on the side of a hill so that doesnt help either as the top of the hill favors the southern quadrants. We chose not to use poles, simply to reduce further enticements to lightning strikes, we had one in 1987, I do have a relative North of Town in the "country" with nuttin but peach orchards around him and he does have a dish.

Peaceful, quiet, clean air, coyotes and other wildlife, and DS> damned dark at night. :) Sounds like you like it? == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 --- GoldED/W32 3.0.1 * Origin: The Eastern Star [Mail Hub] - 864.573.7069 (1:18/500) .
