Here's more stuff for the 10 GHz club :-)

  I was meaning to get some kind of 10 GHz signal here in Eau Claire
someday..  Now in a a week or so there is to be several 2watt DEMI
stations in the area. So I feel motivated to work on my pile of Macom
"stuff" again..

 I asked about the stock dish feeds on the 18" dish network stuff
before..  I have recently gotten a hold of a "dish 500" unit.  Which is
a little bigger..  the problem is it has the dual feeds... has anybody
tried to use this dish on 10ghz with just 1 of the "modified" stock
feeds...Will this work? 
  It has a crapy plastic "holder" that extends out from the end of the
feed support and holds the 2 lnbs. One says 110 degrees and 119 degrees
on the other.. not sure what they are talking about here...
  Would I be better off extending the feed support arm ..centering the
feed between the 2 that's there now and totally get away from the the
dual feed plastic thingy???  
 more questions... what kind of accuracy is required on the dish feed
alignments... are we talking like 3db per mm or what

thanks a bunch
