I can imagine a little radio astronomer with arms like big Arnie winding some mechanical winch to roll it back.

"Hang on guys we're nearly there"

If it's in Australia, why didn't they just fit a downpipe and collect the water runoff?

Roger, didn't you notice the hole in the roof? The water runs straight into the bowl under the hole. :lol:

WOW, I want some of them.

Do you think I can get a Gov't grant for them.
My poor old 5M dish cops a hiding from the weather.
As seen on TV.

When the big dishes go operational, they will be very handy indeed.
