PM or email works.

Ooooh! I'd give me right arm for one of those folding umbrella dishes. Anybody know where to look for one ? (And don't tell me 'the internet' !!)

Those are difficult to find. I had two of them and sold them both and a very large profit, wish I would have kept one!

It seems a collapsible 120cm Inmarsat Umbrella.
Just like this one in the photo:

Exactly
Yes it is an MTI. I was hoping the buyer would still have it and want to sell it back to me.

You can make them for next to nothing. Just stick kitchen foil inside of a normal umbrella (electrically connect all of the pieces), work out the focal point and put your antenna there. It works surprisingly well.
Actually that's what I started doing right before I found the MTI antenna so I abandoned the project.
I'm not surprised. That MTI dish is the best antenna porn that I've seen for a long time.
I became so excited that I forgot to add that the best brolly is one with the most spokes. Some have around 16 spokes so are much more parabolic. Flash reflectors with 16 spokes or more are often cheaper than a brolly too.
