Some miscellaneous photos

Is that a metal pole on a vertical polarization antenna on the boom.
If so it needs a non metallic section as this effects the polar diagram and resonance of the antenna.

Great photos Steve.

In my country you can still buy various types of military antenna masts from the 1960s. Even like in the picture - 25 m. Trevor, is a paradise for you

Hi Trevor, 
No, we used a fibreglass pole, for that very reason.

Hi Adam, 
Seeing that 'makes our mouths water'! (English saying).

For the more recent tests on Channel 1 we used a broad band quarter wave unipole with ground plane elements at 50 degrees below horizontal. 

See pic. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we ran into local planning difficulties shortly after getting started.  We are now looking into a change of location...
