Yes, it's the complete no-BS 4-bolt swap out. Minimizes work and
uncertainty in the forest.<br>
<br>
The dish also had a 15ft vertical antenna fall onto it 2 years ago.
And it bears the dents of that impact. :) The ice + wind loading
was so high that the antenna broke the metal pipe clamp that was
securing its mast to the building. I'm hoping to replace that
antenna this summer with a shorter 4-bay offset folded dipole. That
same falling antenna is also the reason why one of the other
(non-HamWAN) dishes is completely mangled right now.<br>

<br>
Both clients to SnoDEM.Haystack are super weak on ch0.
This implies a <br>
fault with SnoDEM.Haystack. I'd like to go up there with
a full <br>
dish+modem kit to swap out the whole thing and not do
diagnostics on the <br>
mountain top. PTZ does not show any obvious physical
damage to ch0 <br>
cable or dish.<br>
<br>
I would like to draw upon existing inventory to perform
this repair. <br>
Here are the estimated costs:<br>
<br>
Dish: $130<br>
Shield: $100<br>
Modem: $150<br>
TOTAL: $380<br>
<br>
I can do diagnostics and salvage what is possible once the
faulty gear <br>
is down on the ground.<br>
<br>
My vote is yea. Since this is a repair measure, only 1
more supporting <br>
director vote is required for it to pass under our
standing repair <br>
spending rules.<br>
