I think it would help lots of ppl out if we compiled a list of these ex-service
antennas.

Here are the ones I know about.
(plz note AUSTAR was known as CETV)

AUSTAR Black Dish: 10-11ghz(?) satellite downlink, LNB Fed Offset solid dish. Gain @2.4ghz=?? Area:
Central Victoria

AUSTAR/Chello terrestrial White Grid: Appears to be the 2.0-2.3ghz MDS band.  White grid reflector (4, 18, 24db) with
Pacific Monolithics downconvertor. Connected via F plugs and TFC-T10 coax.
These do not have the metal reflector at the end of the LNB as the Galaxy's do.



If you have anyhting to add, please do. I'll post it up on the web with images
when some more info is together.



cheers
