10/22/2011: Sadly, JC got upset and vandalized his post... The gist of it was that one could recycle an old C-band satellite dish by replacing the microwave band feed-horn with a UHF dipole or similar element...
Original response:
I would expect a simple folded dipole or 'V' shaped whiskers located at the prime focus would be the easiest replacement for the C-Band feed-horn/LNB. Directors and reflectors not located at the prime focus would have little signal to act on.
