Node Log
2/10/04 - Constructed a 12m elevating mast, supported by a large array of guys, to hold the 2 25db Hills Grids, a rotator & soon to come 32slot Waveguide.
The mast & guys were really put to the test soon after, as fairly high winds picked up a few days later. The mast stood it's ground and still stands solid as a rock.
The benifits of this system is that it can be elevated & lowered by one person (when finished) and makes repairs & additions (removal of seagulls caught in grid) really easy.
Was all the works worth it...???? Yes as it's reasonabily easy to make changes & repairs. It's full worth will come into play when establish some long links.
Special Thanks to Glen-GES (greybeard) & Johnno-FOA (bigjohn) for support and assistance to getting to this point.
29/08/04 - When node first setup, stumbled across NodeAAF (Sneeze)(very weak signal) from Wantirna approx 12.2kms away, which seems promising given my current testing setup 4.5 mtr of the ground & swaying in the wind.
(Have stumbling jpg, just have to work out how to upload it here...????
