[MAMS] 5.7 GHz antennas

[Danny Pease]

I suppose a triband feed would simplify a lot of things as once I put
something up from home I would likely want to use more than one band and it
would be really tough to put up more than one dish here.

Hi Danny,

Not sure about preferred, but a dish 24 inches in diameter or bigger with a
decent feed should do well. I used an 18 inch dish with a WA3RMX tri-band
feed for some years and then went to a 24 inch dish. The WA3RMX feed works
well but isn't optimized for 5760. If you're going single band, a W2IMU or
Clavin feed should work very well.
