2M antenna 0113

The TV antenna was removed. Faults in its feeder matching were repaired and the antenna placed in the roof space. Above the roof is now fully available for non-bludging antennas.

This 2m antenna is constructed from a dexion bracket recovered from a telecoms site ~30 yrs ago, a mobile base even older. The vertical is the screw-on part of an analogue mobile whip and the whip is zinc -plated steel wire found while out walking. The ground plane is galvanised wire from a coathanger. The feeder is an RG59 equivalent from a disposal source.
