Can't you find a better or easier location? Something at the roof
peak would be easier to work with.


If you have real estate, I would try to mount the sat dish on a pole in
the ground. Yeah I know, you mountain folk have trees to contend with.

BTW, there are people in Castro Valley that use satellite internet. The
east bay has it's share of hillbillies, but most of the trees are long
gone due to being used in construction, clear cutting for ranching, etc.

Over at Mono Lake, they put up a gazebo at an historical mill site. I've
seen the historical marker many times, but the gazebo was new (or
newish). Anyway, it turns out the wood for Bodie came from around Mono
Lake, which explains a lot of the clear cutting.

When you head further east into either the East Sierras or Nevada, wood
was a real premium. Ah, but there was no shortage of stone. ;-)
