In my section I have an Observatory called the Branched Oak Observatory.
They also have a club called the Branched Oak Observatory Amateur Radio
Club call sign NØBOO.

They are seeking a 20 foot preferably mesh dish for 1296 Mhz for Earth Moon
Earth.  Does anyone in your sections have a dish that they would be willing
to donate or that we could purchase?  In FULL disclosure, I am the
Co-Founder and Executive Director for the Observatory.  We are a 501(c)3 in
good standing.  We had a 4 bay 2 meter antenna system that collapsed 2
weeks ago during a blizzard and while we were able to recover 3 of the 4
elements, we are going to downsize it to a 2 boom EME on 2 meters.  Our EME
expert says we can do better on 1296, hence looking for the dish.  We want
to have kids bounce their voices off the moon and back and we have an
entire program around that experience.
