"Great night tonight" -- oh, easy for you to say. I toiled along setting up on our front lawn to take advantage of what looked like a fine (though too moon-y) night, only to discover that my corrector plate was covered with heavy frost! And my wife doesn't have a hair-drier! So I worked getting everything put away but now my corrector plate has a lot of little specks on it, I guess from fog that was dusty. I'll have to clean it, I suppose. I'm glad things are better out your way.

Very interesting Patrick, thanks for posting the link. This "fleet" is for TV transmitting to ground dishes, yes?
