Subject: LF: G0MIN or good things come to those who wait.
Some time ago my local club station at Whitton operated 73 and 136kHz on a
Friday night.
This was a great learning experience for the club members as usually
something dramatic would happen. Unfortunately we had to close the LF
operation as
some fast growing conifers became entangled with the antenna. As they
belonged to
the church next to the community centre there wasn't very much we could
do.........G0MIN QRT!
6 months ago some nasty looking cracks appeared in one of the community
centre's walls and after an inspection the local authority decided the
trees were
responsible.
Earlier this week 6 trees were felled and we now have an unobstructed wire
250 feet long with the far end attached to the church 90ft AGL.
So from next week we'll be back on a Friday evening with something between
500mW and 1W ERP. Yippee It's been too long.
