Site Views

Two views of the site set up on the lower field at Plum Tree Farm with threatening skies in the background. 

Because the grass was too wet to be cut the field space was severely restricted. Electric fence encloses the un-mown grass and the stations are contained in a thin strip.

The artic' trailer kept up nice and dry through the wet weekend if it wasn't exactly comfortable. The kitchen featured a water boiler, sink, soldering iron and cooker.

6m

The 6 element 6m antenna's feed SO239 feet socket failed because it had walls machined too thin so this had to be replaced with a 3 element which is being set up here.

2m station located in the top end of the bottom field was too close to the house next door to be operated at full power.  Antenna is 17 element long yagi.
