Katrina knocked my 10' feedhorn assembly into neighbors yard and
ripped the bolts out of the concrete when a huge oak branch hit the
dish. The dish hung there from a sturdy homemade eave bracket. Well,
this is hard to believe, but when Rita later came along, the dish
ended upright, the 4 bolts back in the same holes, but rotated 90
degrees, leaning upright against the eave bracket.
I just had to repair the eave bracket and rebolt the pole to the
bracket. Am awaiting a new feedhorn/cover assembly. I made
the eave bracket out of perforated angle iron from Home Depot, and
since the dish pole (14 feet long) was trapped inside the triangle of
the bracket, it did not fall, just ripped mounting bolts free of
concrete anchors and eave bracket, hanging there.. I had not figured
out how to get the thing back into the concrete, and then along came
RITA which did the job for me.
Amazing, one for Ripley.
