Dan...
Good to see you posting! Did you get the new V3 dish w/o the drive motors for the second dish?
Would love to see you post some of your floater videos on the Videos Thread !!

HO YEAH!

That would be an excellent start for the new year.

They sent the same antenna as last time, motorized.
I’ll have to look at videos, I’m not thinking I have made too many or at least not quality drone videos of the multiple changes that have taken place with the setup on the floater.

Another point I thought was worth a mention, when I got the Starlink working at camp it worked great… inside of camp (a metal sided trailer) but did not work very well outside in the camp yard, the router signal was weak and not liking the metal siding on camp, a few weeks later I moved the Starlink modem to a window sill looking out at the camp yard, problem solved after that the signal in the camp yard is 100% , my fuel storage area is about 100 yards from camp and the wifi is within range there and works just fine.

As Starlink deploys more polar orbiting LEO satellites the coverage and speed for those of us in Alaska just keeps getting better. Here is my typical speed these days.


When I first got Starlink over a year ago the obstruction map on the Starlink app always showed areas of obstruction. Now, because of more satellites it shows unobstructed view.
