wrote: "Dave Typinski" wrote in message .. . Anyone have any ideas about what one might do with a television receive-only (TVRO) antenna? The thing is 10' diameter and it's mine for the price of dismantling it and hauling it out of the present owner's back yard. I'm thinking radio astronomy. Might be nice to make my own radio map of the galaxy. I'm guessing that this would work okay somewhere between 1 and 10 GHz... which means making a feed horn... which is easy enough to do. What else could I do with this antenna? Other than covering it in polyethylene sheet to make a really big bird bath... -- Dave Typinski AJ4CO Additional Phase 3 satellites (AMSAT-DL P3E and AMSAT-NA Eagle in the 2009/2010 timeframe) are epected to be lauched in next 24 months -- plenty of leaisurely time to rework and install a BUD for "S' or "C" band -- on a budget. http://www.ultimatecharger.com/dish.html Robert, W0LMD shows you how to build a proper Dish Feed http://www.ultimatecharger.com/Dish_Feed.html Heh - I had bumped into that web site a coupla months ago, which is what got me thinking about this project. Then I lost the link - so thanks for posting it! -- Dave Typinski AJ4CO |
