This article appeared first in DUBUS 2/2006 and provides full   constructional detail including photos of the dual feed system. For   many years the interaction and feed methods to illuminate dishes   has always been a matter of conjecture. The 70 cm feed (dual   polarity switching) is revisited in this article and provides the   lowest practical loss system of this type. Tips and construction   methods as well as set up procedures are covered in the paper.
