Worth noting that to the best of my knowledge, Elva-1 is the only one
selling a 90cm 71-86 GHz band dish.

For two reasons. Incredibly hard to aim, and the narrow beam width can
actually be a bad thing compared to 60cm. With a 90cm dish on a tall steel
tower in direct sunlight (steel expansion/contraction on a hollow monopole
in 42C weather, for instance), or on top of a very tall (800'+) office
building that sways slightly, the beam width is so narrow that it will come
off alignment and vary in RSL during the day.

MTI and Radiowaves prototyped 90cm e-band dishes 5+ years ago and decided
not to make or sell them.
