Re: Slowly dropping signal
Two most common reasons: (a) branches creeping into line of sight, (b) drooping dish. Since you seem convinced (a) is not the cause, I suggest the push-pull test. Use the site search engine, it's been described here MANY times

Greg,
Did I 'invent' the push-pull test?
You were a long-time advisor when I arrived on this forum, and you are (apparently) still active. So, you 'were around' during my entire Dway Period.
I used to warp the dish to see if sig strength improved, and the idea came to me as an original thought. I began to suggest it to others who had similar issues.
Now I see the method is a 'searchable troubleshooting aid' with a name, and everything.
Am I the inventor, or just donning a legacy I don't deserve?
(I only stopped in today to see if people are still troubled by the same old gremlins...)

| Dunno Charles. Quick search found 30 mentions on this site alone, dating back only two years. Been doing it for many more than that myself. But you're perfectly entitled to bask. I'm sure you recommended it to a good share of folks during your Hughes days as well.
