[NLRS] 75 cm dishes wanted and give away.

[Thomas Murphy]

It's a different design and intended for a receive-only audience with a 
rather different feed configuration, but KrakenRF has this funded 
crowdsourcing campaign for a stamped aluminum 70 cm dish with optional 
L-Band weather, Inmarsat, or hydrogen line LNA feeds: 
https://www.crowdsupply.com/krakenrf/discovery-dish/

It will eventually be built out of three stamped sectors with vent holes 
and is targeted to be <1 kg assembled with one of the receive feed options.

It may not quite be what you want, but is similar, current (soon) 
production, and should have documentation for various hacking.
