[NLRS] [10ghzcontest] 75 cm dishes wanted and give away.

[Ray Johnson]

Hi Gary

The dish I have from the FQA cleanout is a prime focus unit-- looks light
duty

-I think it was from the HBO kit business that Jon had...

You can have it if it useful to your needs..

I only collect ham microwave stuff  in pairs --  so it is surplus to my
needs...

Alway happy to take away unused dishes--We store them in the car barn at
KD9PGA
for when anyone needs a dish......
