Sorry, but I have to put a plug in here for my project. I am working at Eastern Michigan University on a project known as EARTHS or Education Astronomy using Radio Telescopes in High Schools. The goal of the project is to build small radio telescopes that can be put in the hands of high schools for students to learn with, while also being paired into a statewide array of telescope to form an experimental very long baseline array over the lower half of the state of Michigan. One idea to keep the costs of the project low was to use old satellite dishes, and we are looking for people that may be willing to donate their old dishes for our first prototype being built currently. If anyone is interested in doing so or would like more information on the project, I can be contacted at crazywhiteboy311 at gmail.com, just use the heading EARTHS in your email.
