[MAMS] Dishes

[Zack Widup]

Troy Dennen NW1B has about 10 2-foot diameter prime focus (center-fed)
dishes left. I bought a couple of these from him some years ago and have
been using one for my microwave QSO's on bands 2304 and above. I just got a
couple more from him after my tripod blew over in the January VHF
Sweepstakes and bent the dish enough to affect its performance.

These are sturdy dishes with a hole in the center for a feed and four 8-32
threaded holes around the center hole for mounting the feed. I just cut a
piece of aluminum to fasten over the hole and made a bracket out of it.
There are also holes around the outer edge. The dishes have an f/D of 0.333
and a focal length of 8.0 inches.

Troy said I could announce to microwavers that he still had some of these
dishes available. He is asking $30 per dish plus shipping. For two of them,
shipping came out to about $25 for me. If anyone is interested I can give
his e-mail address.
