Whady'all think?  Will it do?

That big white thing at the back is the counter weight!  (the white sloped
bricks and the transiever dome add quite a bit of weight)

I can bring the dish more in line with the ground, but it wants pull bricks
apart.  I suppose I could do better if I put more effore into it, but I
think this does the job nicely.  And at the angle shown it is very well
balanced and the dish doesn't want to roll onto the ground.  I can even
rotate the dish to be pointed straight up.

Comments....critisms...

(...) Very nice! Maybe you could use technic axle elements and connectors instead of bricks for the receiver mount? It would save some weight. (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
