We already had some concrete posts burried in concrete in the land from the old Fortec Star mount, so we've recycled them for tethering and tensioning the new post to ensure it stays totally vertical, especially whilst the concrete sets. They were already set and solid, and it will let us add additional support for the post, so why not?

We've used steel cable and turnbuckles to pull the bottom and tops tight, whilst pulling it vertical. Very small adjustments of the turnbuckles made it very very easy to get it plumb. And stay plumb.

 A few days later after pouring the concrete we could start work on the dish.

 8am, we started work erecting the dish. The AZ-EL mount is absolutely fantastic! It weighs a tonne, but it's bloomin' marvellous. By 9am, everything was constructed, and by 10am we had BBC, ITV and Channel 4 coming in loud and strong. To say we're happy is to put it mildly. 

And the "money shot"...

 Here in Skåne you can get the Astra 2D horizontals (so BBC1-4, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4, the new Five freesat, More4+1, Film4 and Film4+1) 24/7. Even in the heavy rain over the last 24 hours we've had no problems. Verticals are practically impossible.
