[NLRS] Give away + Need advice on DirecTV dishes

I have a bunch (like 10) DirecTV dishes with feeds.

I am going to be in White Bear Lake, MN on Monday - Wednesday of next
week.  *Anybody who wants one (or more), please let me know and I'll bring
one up.*

In terms of my own use, I was thinking of keeping two, one to optimize for
10 GHz per the discussions on this list that I have saved off.  An
optimized antenna for 10 GHz seems to make a lot of sense for 10 GHz-only
events.

One I'd like to outfit with with a WA5VJB PCB Vivaldi antenna as a
multi-band feed for a rover dish on 3456, 5760, and 10 GHz.  Non-optimal,
of course, but it seemed like it might work well for roving (aiming one
dish and work the three bands.)

So, I'm curious if that makes any sense.  Or would it be better to look for
other dishes besides there.  I'd value your advice.

Thanks and 73,

David  W9HQ
