satellite dishes

Don't know if this an old wives tale or straight skinny so here goes. Some time back I read an article that old dishes that were no longer being used for their origional purpose could be converted to a listening device. True or false. Frank

True, put a michrophone at the focal point and point the whole thing at your neighbors window and see what you get.  Needs to be a solid one, screen types will not get it.  Larry

Well solved that problem. Gent that came to cut down a tree wanted it. So as it hasn't been used in over ten years off it went. Thanks, Frank
