[amsat-bb] PrimeStar dish

[Don DeGregori <don1mh@xxxxxxxx>]

AO-40 antenna people:
This may have be discussed before, but maybe someone can help. I can
obtain a PrimeStar dish for $20. Is this a viable solution for better RX
on AO-40? It is not circular, but I think 36 x 24 inches. Would a
circular dish be better?  Has anyone fabricated a feed for it? If so,
please describe. I intend to use either the Drake or the 3733 on it. So
far, my 16 turn helix has been somewhat marginal in LA, so, I think I
now want to try a dish.
