[amsat-bb] Patch Antennas

["Frederick M. Spinner" <fspinner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone else thought to try a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN patch antenna
as a dish feed (about $40-$60) instead of the G3RUH version ($200)?

I think I might need to try to borrow one from my friend who is big into 
WLANs...

They are rated at 6 dB of gain-- probably can figure out beamwidth, etc from 
that.

(Finally back from South Korea... cool place... couldn't figure out
how to check a 4' offset fed DBS dish with Northwest Airlines on the
way home though...The dishes at the Yongsan electronics market in Seoul 
would make all of you drool!!! )
