29 July 2022 - Picked these up today - now to test them. SB-401 left and SB-303 right.
25 July 2022 - Future projects purchased from the W4QO (Jim Stafford) SK estate. Jim taught the no-code technician class I took many years ago to get my ham license. These will be very special items and I am honored to have the opportunity to own them.

28 July 2022 - I ordered some 1/4-20 x 36" threaded rod to replace the original rods with some rusty pieces holding the feed - received those threaded rods and cut them to length and installed them temporarily - next I will work on getting the length correct from the feed to the dish and then test with my 10GHz setup.
12 July 2022 - Back to work on this project - I purchased the tripod mount for it - it had a heavy ring mount which is more suited to a permanent mount - the new mount fits my portable tripod. This is also much lighter with the new mount and will eventually replace my "white box" dish.
13 December 2021 - Picked this up from an estate sale a few weeks back. Working on cleaning it up to test it as a potential replacement for my "white box" dish.
