I never thought of that trick. Cool!
Have you noticed that aiming is a great way to meet your neighbors. It's a sure way to get four or five guys over to 'help'. You got me to thinking. What if you just set out a 12 pack of cold ones with a sign.
"FREE BEER FOR THE FIRST 95% SIGNAL"
You could set up the tripod and dish, then put up the sign and pretend to aim for a while. You want to work on it just long enough to attract some attention but not so long people actually start to talk to you. After a bit of struggle you kick dirt on the tripod, throw down your tools and stomp inside your rig. Have the DW ready with the beer and a hanky.
Dress her up in some old ratty duds and have her mess up her hair. You want her to look really sympathetic, like those panhandlers you see beside the road.
