Dish Alignment in Gansbaai: what to expect

A dish facing the Atlantic wind off Gansbaai is under constant strain. Over months it can creep out of line, and a dish only a fraction off target can lose the signal altogether in rain or cloud, even though it still produces a picture on a dry day.

We align using a meter so the dish is aimed at the strongest point of the signal, then lock the mounting and check it again. If the mast or bracket is rusted, we say so, because a good alignment on a failing support is a short-lived fix.

What's Included

Questions about Dish Alignment in Gansbaai

My picture is fine on sunny days but breaks up in rain. Is that alignment?

Often, yes. A dish that is not aimed at the peak of the signal has no margin, so rain tips it over the edge. Proper alignment gives you a stronger signal that copes with bad weather.

What happens if the dish bracket is rusted?

We replace or reinforce it. Aligning a dish on a loose or corroded bracket does not last, so we fix the support as part of the job.
