Abstract: A portable antenna is disclosed herein having a pedestal supporting on octagon frame via a universal mounting mechanism. A parabolic reflecting antenna is fixed onto a plurality of mounting sockets on the frame and includes a plurality of individual and separate wedge-shaped panels adapted to be assembled in a side-by-side relationship to provide a unitary construction. Each panel includes outwardly projecting flanges on its oppsite edge marginal regions cooperating with similar flanges on adjacent panels to define a combined mounting flange to be insertably aligned with and received into the mounting sockets carried on the frame. Fasteners secure the flanges and sockets together in a fixed relationship.
