I got the dish! It's 2.4 meters with (relatively) little hail damage. I'm hoping I can hammer and shrink the dents mostly away. I need to devise a feed horn for 2.4ghz. I'm thinking some variataion on a cantenna might work.
Something similar to thisAlso, it turns out the dish's old owner is family of a close friend and he was visiting. So fun was

OH! It took me awhile to figure out what you meant.
Nope. The same hailstorm that dented the dish, mauled my truck.
You can see hail dents near the left taillight and at the base of the small magnetic mount antenna. Also on the house along the edge of the metal roof.
I had a similar mesh dish that was completely shredded.
This one was only about a mile south but is mostly intact.
