Wacky old antennas

[ChrisW6ATV]

Thank you for those notes and the link, Dave. I used to think those were the coolest antennas to see when I was a kid. My brothers and I thought they were for some sort of "secret", closed-circuit or other special TV signals. In recent years, I have picked up a couple of parabolic grill-type antennas used for MDS or MMDS TV signals, the ones near 2400 MHz. They are smaller though, 3 or 4 feet diameter.

I saw those MMDS jobs all over Cleveland when I was there 20 years ago. That format was used where cable had not been yet installed, I think.
