[amsat-bb] 18" dish specs

["Reicher, James" <JReicher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm finally building my downlink for AO40 and I'm trying to figure out the
gain for a converted Dish Network dish (18" round) with a 5 1/4 turn helix
feed.  Anyone got exact figures?  Also, which way (looking out from the
feedpoint) should the helix turn, clockwise or counterclockwise?
