[NLRS] WiFi Dishes

[w0zq at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.

Rich, N0HJZ, has a number of WiFi dishes that measure 39" across and 23" tall and come complete with a feed and mount.  They are marked "Andrew T-2400F 2400-2500MHz Antenna Feed AB10205".  Based on limited Internet searching, they appear to have 23 dBi of gain in the 2400 to 2500 MHz band - nice for WiFi, etc.  We have no idea about the ability to move the feed down to 2304, but it seems like it should be possible.  Rich mentioned $20 and he can be reached at 612-242-8083 (cell).  If the feed works as is at 2304, or if it can be moved down to 2304, this represents a low cost way of achieving 23 dBi of gain on that band - the long boom Directive Systems loop yagi (12 foot boom) is about 23 dBi at $209.
