Actually, there're at least a couple of places I'm aware of selling them: around [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamal_Peninsula"]Yamal Peninsula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Kara_seaYP.PNG" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Kara_seaYP.PNG/250px-Kara_seaYP.PNG"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/f/fd/Kara_seaYP.PNG/250px-Kara_seaYP.PNG[/ame] and by RSC Energia. Btw, they're 2C (Linear V/H or Cir. L/R) and 2Ku (Linear V/H). As to tossing DN staff, well, they didn't learn yet to use "signal theft threat" as a sales push. I guess, another way to look at it is that CN shouldn't be worshiped as a sole source of supply for just about everything - to avoid disappointment. Especially keeping in mind that 90 % of goods imported from CN were designed and developed elsewhere.
