[MLB-WIRELESS] antenna heist

[Luke Schapel]

So far I've grabbed three, (Knock knock, this might seem strange
but i'd like your old Galaxy antenna), two 15's one 19 and no
knockbacks. There are Lot's around the place (Adelaide) and it seems
people are only too glad to be rid of them.

BTW  I've seen horizontal and vertical dipoles in these things,
the grid is always horizontal (so far), did Galaxy transmit both
polarities?
