Thank you all for good words. Today with the help of family and friends we
managed to put dish back. Vertical tubing of the mount is bent about 10 deg.
My calibrations is off. When I calibrated Elevation readout for Moon rise,
then at AZ 220 deg calibration is off by 18 deg. I might see the Moon, but
iw the winds will blow from the direction of fire, sky will be overcasted
and I will have to aim the dish for the best echoes. In addition two ribs
are bent, sun noise is down by about 1.5 deg. I can not do more before
tomorrow. Due to the damage to the mount my AZ will be limited to 235 deg,
bearly getting to JA and probably not VK.
If not more will happened, CU in the contest
