Moonbounce EME Dish Feed Install with the Elevator

- How do you get a large, heavy, EME dish feed up to a mount that is 16 feet above the ground? With an elevator of course... This is how I built an elevator and use it with my moonbounce dish.
Only if you were closer, I'd be volunteering at every opportunity because of too cool to miss.
Your dish and all its components is a work of art, Kudos.!
Just beautiful.
Amazing work well done
Talk about a shoot for the moon system. Nice gear!
Coax looks like hydraulic hose 😅
Love your counterbalance weights, can't tell you how many of those we tossed in the bush in Russia, Russians can break anything!
GREAT video! I just picked up a 3.7m mesh surplus TVRO dish and am just starting the long process of building my 23cm station, I have a long long way to go! I won't need the structural size of the mounting you built but liked seeing your mechanical design details.
I did a lot of C-band dish installation back in the 80s & 90s using a polar mount to track the geostationary belt. There appears to be pros and cons to either polar or az/el. My intent is to go the polar mount direction with a linear actuator to adjust the polar axis inclination to match the current path. Should I be talked out of this thought and move toward az/el?

One difference to keep in mind is with a polar mount your polarization will be constant on the moon. An az/el mount goes through about 180 degree polarization rotation from horizon to horizon. Rotation is not problem with circular polarization, but with linear polarization it can be a problem if it doesn't match the station at the other end.
