[HamWAN PSDR] Mikrotik DynaDish 5 + Beacon Hill

[j sweeney]

That .2 mile shot might be an interesting opportunity to try out a Mikrotik LDF 5 if you want a deployment that is a bit stealthier / looks more like a standard satellite TV setup.

The one I ordered off amazon is going back today (advertised as international, opened the box and its -us).

So… datasheet wrong by chance? Or should I just be looking at using something else.
