Dear Fred ( KF0AK)

Very interesting: What is the earth station dish antenna diameter and F/D that will match the MW patch antenna you are constructing for Eagle. With the day of increased interference approaching, the narrower band width of a patch versus a helical feed may be needed. The question: is the same antenna good for P3e earth station? If Stan Woods say's it good that's all I need. I would like a price per unit with Stan's TLC all over it.

Hi. I am currently working on the microwave patch antenna's for Eagle with Lou Mc Faddin W5DID and Stan Wood. Pay me for the materials and I will make you a few copies. I can even alter them to your mounting configuration. I am sure Lou and Stan could tweak them for a nominal fee. Materials should cost less than 100.00$ US. I could not in good conscience be a part in any way to paying anyone 100 grand for a couple simple antenna's.
