Need help with Leaf Fade

[Claude Greiner]

I don't know what to do, it looks like I got a really bad case of leaf fade on my 61.5 Dish :D

That's nearly as bad as gecko fade. :lol: I actually got a call at 11:55PM a couple of weeks ago (July 3) to service a dish at a Holiday Inn. I drove 3 hours to get there and all seemed to be working well when I checked on the indoor equipment. I called the uplink center and they determined the cross pole (rotation angle) on the transmitter was off by a bit. I went out to the dish and found it covered in bushes worse than yours. I trimmed what I could with my wire cutters (since I didn't bring my gardening tools) and had the center check again. I had a marginally acceptable signal and went inside to inform the manager to have their landscape person come by to trim the bush. I then proceeded to my comp room to rest up for the 3 hour drive home. :D I wish I had taken a picture.

At least it wasn't poison ivy.
