[QUOTE="divibi, post: 548281, member: 194201"] Hi all, BombedOne, thank you for starting this thread. My short term goal is to build a 50 - 80 cm parabolic dish out of cardboard and foil to experiment with the strongest signals, here on 5w, 28e and 39e. I have 3 questions; 1. those 40-60cm dishes you can build in 1 hour; are they cardboard and foil? 2. What is the title of the book you took the example from? Is that about microwave dx-ing? 3. VERY IMPORTANT to me; does fibreglass let microwaves through? Could you build, let's say a 50cm cardboard and foil dish and to freeze the shape apply epoxy resin (or something or plastic?) all around the dish to STIFFEN IT FOREVER IN A DESIRED SHAPE??? 4. Maybe you know how much in $$$ is a SUPRAL offset dish 3700x4005 that has a funny shape? Is it one piece? Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
