Seriously big dishes, are they one-piece?

divibi

Hello,

I have no immediate need to know, but for the sake of knowledge and curiosity ; do dishes like 6,50m 7,50m, 9,30m Andrew, 10m Siemens (that Turok mentioned), 15m RSi Vertex come with a solid ONE-piece reflector surface? Personally, I would always go for single piece dishes. So far I only came across info about one Turkish solid 1- piece spun aluminium 6,20m dish. But I also read that dishes over 5,00m should or must be made of steel and a big aluminium dish could quickly deteriorate in colder climes.

Additionally, I read that Klaus Schumacher from southern Brazil made his own 8m dish from a negative concrete mould; so is his a one-piece dish??? If so then that would be the biggest one-piece dish I've heard of so far. And is it fiberglass?

I dont think any dish more than 3.2m solid would fit in a container unless it was manufactured on the spot.4,3m i set up yesterday 16 pieces alloy.

you need big dishes,no problem
you only need much much $$$


also i nice 7.6 M Andrew Gregprian
how about this?


looks also very nice and should be enough,for central europe in c and kuband i think!

here,a nice company from switzerland,only 150 km away from my location!

so if i would win in lottery,i would buy everthing on that you can see on this page,and then,some satelites uk mebers,must come to help installing!

espasly the vertex rsi Torus,looks very nice,you have gain winning on all satelites,without using motor of ,4,5 meter in c and kuband!
there is a distrubutor in london,so try to find out more infromation how much this little baby would costs

in swoterland,there are many experts,but its to expensive with the import tax!

when you buy andrew today,it is dificult to find,single antenna parts for ech modell ,usa import is then the only way!

ps_are the some pictures,of the curent andrew setup,you also have motor solution?


i dont think that we here in europe can "use" a 10 mter dish,i want to say,with 7 .8 meter all weak satelitessignals,should be posible!
but,without testing it,we will never know it!

from the brazil man,we only need a orginal model of the casting box,of the 8 meter antnna,with this,then,we could make our own antennas!
good night,until tomorow evening!
