Some references. Great article on Polar mounts and the KL6M feed.

Dish Assembly

Some calculations were required once I figured out the dish dimensions. 

  Initial assembly on fence post in order to take initial measurements. 

 Details of polar mount


 Temporary wooden mock up on small 40x48" utility trailer I bought off craigs list for 100$. There is no good view of moon from my yard except the middle of front yard and that won't fly with the XYL. 




 These are fittings for the feed mounting support legs. I will cut them in half, turn a few spacers and use rod ends to get some fine adjustability out of the feed mount. 


 Rung-Fu RF-30 from MSC does a great job!!
