JJ's Place

Yes 30 is a good road, 4 lanes, in some spots almost like the interstate in Indiana and Ohio, You can drop down to the 30 east of Joliet, Il and run it all the way, no problem, there is a low clearence in Joliet, but after that your good to go.

 

If your going to go that route, go ahead and stay on 80 to IN 49. Its only $2.35 and you miss a butt load of stop lights picking up 30 at I 65. Only problem with 30 is the 60 MPH in IN and the 55 MPH in Ohio. Other than that, its 4 lane thru both states to I 71 in OH.

 

Got the right pole and have it mounted but haven't slowed down enough to bother setting the dish up. Really want to make a telescoping pole and mount it on the back with the dish mounted permantly. Should be able to do that fairly easily. Just need access to a welder to tack a nut on. Well, and buy the poles.....

 

And NEVER take us 30 in PA. Its a twisty, 2 lane road, with speed limit at 45 MPH!!!!!!!

 

Don't we all work for peanuts? Jess?

You missed my post about my set up pan. What I had was telescopic dish

 

On my way to the commies. Anyone traveling the 80 from Ohio to Sacramento;

 

US30 east of I81 isn't bad but west of 81 is a different story panhandles right steer clear. I'm sure you've all seen those signs on the pa turnpike in breezewood that tells trucks to stay off 30 breezewood to mcconnellsburg. That mountain in mcconnellsburg is no fun.

 

Bummer. Without constant power to the converter box, what used to be a 5 minute process to hook up sat., now takes about 25 or so. *sighs* Have so got to get a "REAL" inverter installed.

Understood your setup snowwy, just don't know where to get an extendable mast at the moment. Suggestions???
