I have a 3.5m solid spun aluminium dish, complete with mount,  
ram/rotator, controller & the ground mount too.  It's really good for 
ABC on KU band, plus some yankee stuff aimed at the islands.  I've taken 
it down off the roof (yes we had this puppy on the roof!)  but if anyone 
is interested it's looking for a home.  Else it's going to end up as a 
fish-pond, or a giant wok, or something.
