Can I spend money.....

I guess that is a little redundant for a Ham- it is not always a cheap hobby even if you fabricate your own equipment.  (I did see a neat video of a French fellow making his own home vacuum tubes- I'll look for it sometime and post it).  But what I purchased this time was a 1.4 GHz feedhorn and choke as part of my plans to manufacture a radio telescope out of the 8 foot aluminum dish I purchased last summer.

Oh, I can hardly wait!!!
