$60,000 Satellite Dish on Ebay

Hmmm - check his feedback. He just sold a C-Band and apparently took the money.
 
Are these 5 mega dish's located at his house? That what it looks like. These are what XM uses to broadcast their channels up to the satellite's. Why would anyone want them for personal use? He forgot to mention that you have to supply the concrete base on each one.
 
Seems like its some kind of uplink satellite transmitting to the satellite, or can receive signals even during heavy rain to prevent outages.
 
for someone trying to make 60,000, he should have put a little more effort and description in his auction. i wouldn't trust this guy.
 
My guess is it belongs to some academic or other goverment facility, that area rings a bell but I can't remember what for.
 
That's weird to see stuff like that on ebay. I work for the company that built that antenna. Oh, and it's not Vertek, it's Vertex. (Incidentally, Voom also buys our 7200 controllers and digital tracking receivers) :yes
