"The good news about Lansdowne is that the dish has escaped the fire," says Adi Linden, K-Net's network systems analyst, explaining that there was no way to realign the satellite dish without the head end.
"The outdoor components, antenna, SSPA, LNB, Heliax should be fine."
K-Net brought together a group of technicians, including Jesse Fiddler from Muskrat Dam, Wayne Slipperjack from Eabametoong, Jamie Ray from Thunder Bay and John Moreau and Lyle Johnson from Sioux Lookout, to work with team leaders Adi Linden and Terence Burnard on realigning the K-Net hub in Sioux Lookout and 13 community satellite dishes located across northern Ontario, all the way from Attawapiskat and Marten Falls in the east to Fort Severn and Peawanuk in the north to Sachigo and Muskrat Dam in the west to Slate Falls in the south.
...
Slipperjack and Fiddler prepared for the week by training with Linden and the others at K-Net's hub in Sioux Lookout on Wednesday, Nov. 14.
...
Fiddler adds that Linden had everything prepared for them in Sioux Lookout to ensure that the realignment would go as smoothly as possible.
...
Linden tested all the programs and equipment he had prepared during the Wednesday training session and then shared everything he learned with the Manitoba and Quebec crews so everyone was ready to complete all the realignments in each of the NICSN partner communities.
The realignment project began early on Monday morning as Burnard and Linden realigned the 7.3 metre satellite dish at K-Net's hub in Sioux Lookout to the Anik F3 satellite.
...
Since Adi had fixed the technical problem at the hub site, the dish went online and is still working.
