On the left, GB3FM, then the frequency
standards,then the 70cm filters.
Below, the duplexer that has been used for
GB3FM: now only the RX section is used.
The home made cavity is also on 23cm in
the GB3FM transmit leg.

The guardians of the site... |
...with their king sized leader... |
... who are encouraged by a floor that's
not the driest in the world.... |
...even with an automatic pump that does its best to get rid
of the water...
|
...which comes in because we are surrounded
by our own, personal moat! |
The beacons being installed. 5.7GHz is
on the right, 47GHz on the left.

The view from the tower towards the North East. |
The site in 2019. At least the trees that touched it
at one time have been cut back. |
And what the site looked like in 1982 when the original
antenna was installed. Look - no trees! Photo:
