Harry Woodhouse G3MFW from St. Austell Cornwall wrote to me re. the
following :
He went to the Scilly Isles last month and dismantled the antenna
loading coils of the Decca station there. Then, with the aid of
wheelbarrow and hired lorry, got them to the cargo boat for Penzance and
home in a Landrover (quote "Phew !!")
He wants to dispose of three of them and is asking £32 for each which
just covers the cost of the recovery. They cannot be packed into crates
for sending on, so anyone who wants them will need to collect from St.
Austell.
If nothing else, they are an excellent low cost source of 729 strand
Litz wire, but are "A fatal combination of Fragile and Heavy". Details
of similar (identical ?) coils are on Mike G3XDV's LF Website.
Dimensions are 914mm OD x 480mm ID x 230mm thick and weigh in th eregion
of 25kg each.
I suggest if you are interested, you contact Harry direct on 01726
73608. While he is on EMail, this is only collected once a week on
Mondays, so this would not appear to be a good method. He does not want
to cope with the flood of EMails this reflector generates.
Personally, I would have thought an auction might be more in order.
