Check out www.k1rqg.com. I believe Joe said this was a 32 ft dish used to bounce SSB and CW signals off the moon!! He has talk to numerous countries around the world with it.

That's what I'll need when I move to Costa Rica.
 
I'm told it's so heavy and big that it has to be moved hydraulically. I asked him about using it for Cband or KU and he stated that it's too touchy for geosync. Satellites.

If that dish moves like 1/8" you'll lose the signal and you'd constantly be tweaking it.



That would be a great addition to my dish farm. :)

Yeah. You'd need a very stable precision dish mover for something like that since the beamwidth is much tighter.
 
In the state of Maine, I believe it was put up in 2001 I believe. I believe he uses it on 1296mhz and 2.4 ghz using a 2 meter rig for the IF and tranverters.


Can I ask - - - where is this dish and how long has it been up?

WAY COOL !!! :up
 
Here is a guy who installed a 22ft dish for Ku/C-band on his lawn motorized.
