  Before I start this monumental project I figured I might check to see 
if anyone here on the east coast would like to buy a 50' Mesh Sat dish.  
I just bought this and I am realizing that it might be more than I can 
handle ( once again ...eyes bigger than stomach thing).  As I get older 
I am learning more and more that I ain't what I used to be.  I have been 
researching cutting it down ( which I might), but in my eyes it would be 
criminal ...so I will try to sell it first ...at what it cost me.  This 
is a 50' Telstar all aluminum mesh dish ...16 ribs (3 pieces per rib), 
was a prototype for the company owner and was finished about 90%.  All 
ribs are there and enough mesh for the 1st 2 rib sections (About 29ft 
dish worth), has all rings and materials to make remaining outer ones. 
It also has a massive 800+ pound AZ EL mount that will fit on your 
tower/base. All hardware (nuts and bolts, clips etc are all stainless )  
At 50' the f/d is about .385 from what I measured.  Can be put up as a 
29+ ft with f/d of .62 and later extended to 50' Dia.  As a 50' dish it 
need only additional mesh (screen) as all the rest is there except for 
the time.

Anyway, if not sold I might put it up as the smaller. but I would really 
like to see the full potential in use.  Dish is now dis-assembled and in 
SC ...near Charlotte NC)  It cost me $2667 with the freight shipping 
from west coast (OR).  Will sell for $2600 ( Pick up price) ... and 
there is more than $2000 scrap alum here. ( And I will look for 
something my body can handle easier).

Thanks,
Pete WA2ODO
