Ok, first, I want to thank everyone for the help on my last antenna (Fan dipole). I've done a droopy ground-plane for 2 meters, a twinlead j-pole, a 10 meter dipole, 20 meter dipole, a fan dipole for 10-20-40 meters.

What should my next project be? I've got a DirectTV dish I've been wanting to play with. Any decent projects I could use that one for? Or some other antenna idea?

I look forward to the all your suggestions here :)

That dish stuff is to high banded for me. Nobody to talk to out in the sticks.

Use the dish for wifi.
Make a portable 17m vertical.

Think 10ghz, you'll love it.

Hm, I'll probably take that up Mack. I just gotta find another ham around here who wants to play with Microwave. Not too many round these parts. There's a 900MHz repeater, but it's kinda dead; and I don't think anyone sprung for anything higher yet.
