GB3VR on Alford slot

Just to give an idea of how strong GB3VR is at this location
I managed to get a P4 picture from the repeater using an Alford
slot antenna at a height of about 10 feet AGL and I am about 17 feet ASL.

Finally success with GB3IV

I thought I would post a little note to say that I have finally managed to
get into the GB3IV repeater on the Isle of Wight using DVB-S at 4 Msps.
This evening I was able to join the SCART club's Monday evening net on
GB3IV. Everyone was very welcoming but then ATVers are a friendly lot.

VR is everywhere

I am now able to receive GB3VR over at Brighton using an Analogue receiver
board from 13cms unfortunately it is so strong that it wipes out GB3IV and they
never seem to turn it off unlike GB3IV. Also I have included a picture of the
mast fully extended with a small Tonna antenna on the top for ATV.

7.6M Tennamast is finally up

First the hole

Then some concrete

Then the base

Mast retracted

Mast extended

I would like to thank my next door neighbour Peter for helping me lift the structure in place.

This weekend I will add the rotator and DATV antennas.
