[MAMS] 5.7 GHz antennas

[Danny Pease]

I have a  20 inch dish with 5.7 feed horn for portable operation and a couple of extras, if nothing bigger falls into my lap, I will use one of those. One of them will likely get used for 10 GHz once I get hardware for that band.

I have a couple of spare dish network truncated parabolas with offset 
feeds sitting around if you are interested.   You will have to build 
your own feed.
