[NLRS] 75 cm dishes wanted and give away.

[Jsames Hermanek]

Hi all...Per Gary's note the dish I'm using is similar, but slightly
different...   and, was resurrected from the junk pile at W0AUS's...  It's
aluminum and 81 x 86 cm (approx) & still in use.  Even with the smaller
beam width, still reasonably easy to point. I'm using the W1GHZ dual freq
feed horn.

Having a lot of uW fun in the desert down here....  monthly activity days
(10 & some 24).....highlight is working Mt. Laguna in California from
Apache Junction, AZ at 283 miles.   (I have come to better appreciate the
flatlands of MN & WI as down here there is always a mountain in the way??)

See you in the spring....73s   Jim  K0KFC
