	The photos on this page now load in DESCENDING order! With the exception of the 1st photo on the left, the most recent photos are at the top of the page.
	The 10.3 meter dish is now complete with the exception of one panel and one perimenter support which will remain out of the dish over the winter to allow easy access to the dish surface to allow for cleaning and repainting. I expect to begin construction of the mount next spring.
	The Subreflector






^ 1 panel ready to be placed in dish.	^ Cut & paste to get idea of size of finished dish !!!
Assembly of subreflector support arms begins here in descending order.



The diameter of the outer ring in these photos is approx. 24 feet. Another ring is yet to be added which will bring the dish up to it's final diameter of approx 34 feet. This will be done AFTER the 'petals' which make up the dish surface are put in place.	Dish is now ready for installation of subreflector and main reflector surface 'petals'. The remaining pieces visible scattered around the dish will then be assembled bringing the diameter up to approx 34 feet (10.3 meters).
