I'm continuing to test and refine the antenna setup at my surplus radar dome. The cold weather has caused some issues with the motors and tracking, but I've still been able to receive some interesting satellites. I can even get both GOES-E and GOES-W from the hill at Sandland, which I've never been able to do before!

Thank you to SJCam for sponsoring this video and sending me their C400 to test out. You can find it at https://bit.ly/saveitforparts
