Mark Brueggemann K5LXP recently inquired about a 1.2GHz antenna but mentioned he had a K5GNA barbecue dish and converter. Since I have my antennas down for rework, (since I moved) I am wondering the same thing.
I am also curious if covering the BBQ grill with screening material on the K5GNA unit is worth the trouble. There was lots of discussion about it when AO-40 was working, but I do not remember anyone saying it was worth the trouble. Anybody add the screen material to the unit and what kind of improvement did you hear......
