@harkank Extremely interesting.

Are these receive-only (have you detected any signals coming out of them)?

None of these 3 large dishes is active. Same with dish 4 in the back, this one is for the Ku band. Dish 1,2 and 4 are equipped with skew angle gear & motors to squint into downlinks.
C-Band modules - LNCs, filters & c - are all from Nortel Canada. The Ku band modules are from Swedish Microwave.
Vienna is by far the largest and one of the few remaining #SIGINT stations in EU on Russki embassies.
Tech staffers were all kicked out except here
