[BC] Comtech versus Patriot dishes

[Don Little]

Between the two, Comtech, without a doubt.  My oldest 3.8 meter EL/AZ Comtech (I have 3 of them) is over 25 years old and it's still better than my 10 year old Patroit.  The Patriot is getting metal fatigue where the bolts hold the petals together, and the dents from golf balls.  Mike mentioned DH,  another department has one and it's holding up better than the Patriot.
