Dear Mike, LF Group,
That's basically it - The antenna here is an inverted L
with a 40m horizontal part about 9m average height - at night, I put a 14m
telescopic fibreglass mast under the middle of it, making it into an inverted V
shape, and adding roughly 4dB to the ERP. It has to be in hours of darkness
only, otherwise the neigbours become convinced I am trying to blight the
landscape, give them leukaemia, etc. Strange, considering that this QTH has the
masts of Brookmans Park looming over it, pumping out 400kW of MF night and day,
but there you go...
Cheers, Jim Moritz

Hi Jim,
Did you wait until it was dark so the neighbors didn't see you crank up
the big tower??? Hi hi...

Dear LF Group,
The M0BMU beacon shut down at about 0755 this
morning - in the daylight, it became apparent that the aerial wire had got
caught up, and as a result was not at its full height, so ERP would probably
have been down by a few dB.
