Back in the day, it was considered prudent to repaint your pirate satellite TV to make it look less obvious. Knowing about the dazzle idea, I did bright white and dark black in rectangular blocks to break up the shape of the dish. After I was done and the dish was on the roof I realized I had reinvented a fairly conventional urban camo scheme. It was the same as used on the pictured tanks.
Afterwards I realized the weaknesses of such a scheme. Against an actual urban background it was quite effective in preventing perception of the oval shape of a satellite dish. Backlit by a bright sky, not so much. The oval shadow cast by the dish in sunlight was also quite easy to detect.
