Replacing an aerial dropwire to a customer. October 2013.

This pole has both power and telecoms feeds to houses. See note. November 2013.

Didn't complete the job the tree removal the previous afternoon so back the next morning to finish it. In doing so they broke my phone line. They arranged for Telstra the phone company to repair it. The technician arrived soon after the tree crew left and replaced the broken cable. All good!

Nearly is a shack.

The fibreglass whip plus spring has been replaced by a measured length of scrap zinc plated steel wire and a ferrule from an old analogue mobile whip.

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.

My 2M antenna at home as first installed. This 2m antenna is constructed from a dexion bracket recovered from a telecoms site ~30 yrs ago, a mobile base even older and a mirror mount clamp. The vertical is the spring and whip I use on vehicles. The ground plane is galvanised wire from a coathanger. The feeder is an RG59 equivalent from a disposal source. In 2013 the fibreglass whip was replaced with suitable length of galvansed wire in a ferrule from an old mobile phone antenna. It was a nuisance having to climb up there when I wanted to work from a car.
