Today I digged out my Echostar 120 offset KU dish of the shed .
To get more easy acces to it , attached it to my mobile pole in the garden .
The plan is to test DE plates and other systems for depolarising at C band .
First pointed it to 5 West to get signal at KU .
Marked the aiming laser spot and made a structure with an 40 mm pvc tube , to keep a reference line .
Prepaired a conical feedhorn (TRF) with 3 M6 rods to a modified scalaring as support .
At the lathe , made 3 special bearings...
