[AK-VHF] Surplus 3m TVRO dish spotted in Alaska (looks surplus)

[Ed Cole]

This mainly directed to a south-central Alaskan stations:

Today, I spotted a TVRO 3m dish sitting in an equipment yard (and 
looking surplus).  The company does commercial electrical and some 
satellite dish installs (like DishNet or Direct-TV which use the smaller 
1.2m dish on 11-GHz).  This resembles the kautronics (KTI) four-part 
dish which easily unbolts into four quadrants for shipping.

I'm guessing this a leftover from the C-band TVRO days and likely 
surplus (and maybe cheap).  I used to install similar dishes in 
1980-90's and the mesh surface is good to 4.2 GHz.

This in the yard of Kachemak Electric in Kenai, AK.

A good "find" for prospective 1296-eme hams in this region of AK. 
Probably too costly for shipping out of AK.
