[NLRS] Dear Dishers

[Donn Baker]

Hi Jon,
A good place (the BEST place ?) to start is Paul Wade's Online Antenna
Handbook, Chapter 7, I think.  He talks all about DSS dishes and offset
feeds, etc.  I don't remember the URL, but a Google search on 'W1GHZ', and
poke around for the 'Online Antenna Handbook' will get you there.
(Bookmark it; you'll want to go back there for other stuff... really a
fantastic resource!!)

If you have the old LNB for the dish, you've got no problem... it can be
modified to work as a 10GHz feedhorn... AND it'll match the dish!
Otherwise, you may have to make a horn... don't know if the horns you have
will correctly feed the dish.  W1GHZ indicates that the proper horn is real
important.

Let me know if you have any problems.

PS  I'll have the 222 divider for you at Breakfast next week.

The dish is an elliptical design, gray in color, aluminum, looks fairly
flat, and is without any markings of any kind.   It measures 26" high by
almost 24" wide with an off-center feed point that has a feed arm about 17"
in front of the dish.   The mounting hardware is in good shape and it looks
like it should be a snap to install on a tripod.
