{short description of image} 6 FO22 yagis (two views) with polarity rotation originally built by K1FO as part of his 12 FO22 yagi array. This array was used for many successfull EME contacts on 70CM (432 Mhz).
{short description of image} Notice the polarity rotor on the aluminium "I" beam above the counterweights to offset the array. First chance to see how polarity rotation doubles the effectiveness of the array.
 {short description of image} 12 foot diameter TVRO dish with VE4MA feed horn on 23CM (1296 Mhz) in early 90's. F/D .375 Dish was mounted on thirty foot tower. About 50 initial contacts were made with 300 watts in the shack. Dish was also effective for tropo and Oscar 13.
 {short description of image} 18 foot diameter homebrew dish built by N2IQU in 3 weeks (KU4F design) .45 F/D used for 18 months on 23 cm EME. VE4MA feed horn. Currently QRV at K2DH QTH.
 {short description of image} 28 foot diameter Kennedy dish (two views) used on 70 cm and 23 cm EME. Both a W2IMU feedhorn and switchable dual dipoles for 70 cm were used.
 {short description of image} Azimuth rotor was a surplus radar rotor and elevation by hydraulic ram. A very fine antenna used until 1995
 {short description of image} 48 foot diameter dish (two views) built/refurbished from government surplus (see QST May '96) in 1995 by N2IQU. F/D .41
 {short description of image} W2IMU feed for 23 cm and switchable dipoles for 70 cm. This is the current antenna used at N2IQU's EME station near Syracuse, New York.
 {short description of image} 15 foot diameter dish (SA) for use on X band (10 Ghz) EME. Steerable but not QRV yet. N2IQU hopes to be QRV in the summer of "99 on 10 Ghz.
 {short description of image} THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...60 footer Kennedy...with a very interesting past. Luckily the 48 footer came along before I went way over board.
