Thanks Richard. Great resource page and historical record! David used
36" dishes too.
One suitable application might be both dishes, close-spaced
converging on a key point of interest like a nest. The curious
attribute to me is the flip-flopped, stereo field from points beyond
the nest, the background. I never really considered making stereo out
of two very distant, fairly narrow fields of space. Would likely make
the background too busy in some locations, but it might work nicely
for lower key settings. If there were reflective, vertical surfaces
in each of the distant fields, those surfaces might also act like
collectors. Rob D.
