I have a dream of one day building a dish farm, with one 8 foot dish per
bird in the arc, a dish on every other known satellite, and two dishes
with AZ-EL systems for sky-sweeping. Don't know what I'm going to do with
the RF yet. Would be cool if I could do realtime FFTs on the birds and
look for things that shouldn't be there. ;-)

Should get me a visit from a pair of TLAs.
