Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

another first .... two weeks ago when we setup at our current campground, I used the app mentioned above and found that from our camper's roof antenna the signal path to Dish's satellites passed through the top branches of a very large pecan tree .... with no leaves on the tree I figured our roof dish should be able to lock onto a signal and that proved to be the case .... for the last couple of days a front fairly strong/steady wind has slowly moved through .... corresponding movement of the limbs through which our signal had to pass has play havoc with our satellite reception .... this morning (actually before breakfast ;) ) I setup our portable dish antenna .... it took only a few seconds to locate a place with a clear view of the Dish satellites .... in less than 10 minutes I was back inside with strong, steady reception .. 8-)

pictures related to above post .... the signal passes through the right side branches of the tallest tree behind the camper ... the path of the signal to our portable dish passes to the right of those branches so it isn't interrupted in any way
