[Antennas] Dish Antenna

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Check the conductivity of a glass mirror, the silver may be so thin that it
may not make such a great reflector of radio waves.  And of course to
prevent losses around the edges they would all have to be electrically
connected around their perimeters.
