Hello,
I just realized that this list is for the W WA area, so I thought I would
start here with this:
Back in July, I ordered a MikroTik mANT30 dish antenna (with precise
alignment mount) for my HamWAN installation. It arrived with the edge of
the dish bent up AND the mount bent (!). I contacted the vendor and they
sent another one and said they would send me a UPS label for the return.
After 3 weeks, I emailed my contact and told them that if I didn't get the
shipping labels, I would give it away.
Well, it has been month with not a peep from them, so: I am offering up the
antenna for free to someone who could use it. I bent the mounting frame tabs
to fit the dish and cleaned up the edges of the dish as best I could with an
adjustable wrench as a bending lever. The dish itself has maintained it's
symmetry and I was able to bend the mounting tabs to match it, so it should
be fully functional. Just to make sure, I assembled it and it looks fine,
except for a bit of unevenness at the very edge of the dish. It is ready to
mount a MikroTik radio (I juse the MikroTik RB912UAG-5HPnd). Here is a link
to the dish's spec sheet:

I would prefer to pass this on to someone involved in Emcom activities who
will actually use it - or someone helping someone else getting set up. Give
me a call to arrange pickup, I will not ship it. I am located in NE Seattle
in the Maple Leaf neighborhood, you can find my address in QRZ.
