  Installed in the early '80-s, received from the Soviets as a scrap material (even in Soviet terms!) The original satellite dish was able to receive only some soviet satellites - the TV broadcast from Moscow. That time these satellites were not geo stationary, so the dish movement had to be programmed by diode-plugs in a big plugboard. The locaton was selected as a "low noise" place, sorrounded by hills shadowing.
