Anybody know what kind of antenna this is and would it be good for c and ku band?

[Bill Pihl]

I just found this on craig's list near me and was wondering if it would be good for c-band and ku ( it's free)

Is it metal or fiberglass? That dish should work great for at least c band if it is not warped.

The ad says metal, I guess i should go get it thanks El Bandido

I agree with EB, as long as it's not warped as it seems to be in dire need of tlc, it should work excellent for both bands. Bring extra help as it looks heavy and hopefully there is a polar mount to get that dish motorised.

Hello Bill

here is some information, check it out.

Yep. Its a Birdview. One of the finest dishes out there, on THE finest horizon to horizon mount ever constructed, IMO. Make sure if you get it you get the pole, you will need it.
