[MRCG] Visit to the Stanford Dish antenna

[MICHAEL BITTNER]

Tim, Thanks for posting this Stanford Dish video.  It sure brings back memories.  I was a student there at the time living in a spare room in a professor's house within site of the dish as it was being built.  The mesh was being applied by students armed with vise-grip pliers to twist the wire holding the mesh onto the frame.  After it was completed, my lab professor, well known ham Oswald (Mike) Villard, regaled us with accounts of using the dish with a 6-meter Gonset Communicator.  Mike, W6MAB
