What a piece of junk! Anything from Harbor Freight is ... (ahem) Right, glad that's over with.

Seriously, how does it help? I'm not sure why that's an advantage over the little plastic spacers? Part of the issue might also be that I'm not a pro -- I'm just laying tile in the privacy of my own home.

Is there anything more boring than 20 pictures of satellite dishes?

Just wait until you get stuck out in the middle of no-where with no communication or entertainment, then the satellite will become your best friend.

BTDT and hope you do not ever experience it.... Just because YOU do not like it does not mean that others do not enjoy it.

crane pictures

URY914, where did those crane pictures come from? I'm in that business now. Nothing that big, 90 ton is our largest. Thanks

Easy there big fella.......One or two pictures of a satellite dish is interesting, 20 is boring. I have nothing against them but you know what they say about too much of a good thing. I could bombard the forum with airplane pictures but I don't because it would get old really fast.

Actually the first six were of a big crane. Was there a dish there? Must have missed that. The funniest thing is you went back and counted em all and still got the number wrong. How many times did it take you?

I could post a pic of a cat for ya.

Be careful, I'll find some finger pics!

hot naked chicks, someone complains, disfiguring injuries, someone complains, mundane pics of random inanimate objects, someone complains. I think that some of you must be wearing dresses as much as you b!tch.



now that's a big dish!





a parabolic reflector for a wifi signal. You can see anywhere from 6 - 12 dB of gain by adding one of these to a regular omnidirectional antenna. A 6dB gain would be a signal 4 times as strong, and a 12 dB gain would be an increase in power of 16 fold.
