Well, imNSho, one hour is plenty of time to install the dish, which
is what the phrase refers to <screwdriver and pliers>.
We had a tower all set up to accept the dish. Installed it first
on the tower leg at ground level and peaked it to get the elevation
and polarity. Locked them down. We then took it up twenty feet
off the ground and repeaked the azimuth, using the tone from the
PC100. Duck soup! About twenty minutes.
