HAMs have Field Day.
Computer gamers have LAN Parties.
FTA enthusiasts (SatGuy's) could have a convention, and bring our big beach balls.
Yep, sounds like my kind of party.
Well, they all do, 'cause I'm all three kinds of guys... and live near the beach.

So, Sadoun, when will you have the FTA Ku or C-band versions available?
SatelliteAV, we need some competition. You bring the GloryStar model!

 

[Sadoun]

Nice invention. I haven't seen or read the detailed specs. But I saw the price tag in the article. At $50,000 (yes you read it correctly) a pop it is an expensive dish to have.

 

[Anole]

Yea, but $50k buys you the prototype, militarized, ruggedized, transmit-capable edition.
We just need the mass-produced, made in Taiwan, consumer version, for receive-only.

 

[truckracer]

can I line my old beachball with screen mesh, over inflate it and point it at a ku sat? LOL

 

[KE4EST]

Very Neat invention.

Then some bratty kid next door comes by and punch a hole in that $50 K dish...
LOL
