Using satellite finder

Here is an example of installing a dish in a forested area. Our rig in the background is about 100 feet from the dish.

The location of the dishes (mine and a neighbor) was found by using a satellite finder. Once I found the hot spot, a total of three dishes were located at the same spot to serve three nearby camping spots (one dish has been removed in photo).

We served as campground volunteer hosts at this campground. As time allowed, I would assist campers trying to install a dish who had given up in flustration. With the satellite finder, we were able to find a signal in all spots we tried (over 100 sites in campground). I could have sold a number of finders, but the smile on the campers faces was reward enough.
