EME Dish Design and Building Project

This is a show and tell on how I went about building my 21 foot moonbounce dish back in 2015 to 2016.. Also some good and poor videos at the end of how it was finally installed and the oops moment...

awesome

[@princbill]

Great 👍

[@frederickdepuydt6241]

years later now - should you remake the dish, would you change things in the design?

[@VE6BGT]

I would make it bigger ha ha.. No it is big enough.. I would probably add more rings that go around the ribs inside so that the mesh is held more maybe, especially out at the outer edge of the reflector surface.. other than that I am perfectly happy with it.. Skip

[@catalinalb1722]

Hello would you share some schematics, drawings or 3d files of this antenna?

[@VE6BGT]

Yes I could send you some drawings I made of this dish.. They are in Visio format so I could convert them to pdf files if you like.. Do you want to send me your email address ? Skip

[@shanerorko8076]
