Hi Andy, thanks for the encouragement!

It was constructed from a Stainless Steel Thermos Flask and a Sugar
container for the extra wavelength. Probably could be a bit longer also to
be more accurate at 2.gHz.
Might try a custom built steel tube to correct specs next time as they
certainly work well.
Much lower profile than a Ex Galaxy Parabolic dish. Not the same gain
though;-(
