G0MTN: Station details


Starting to dig. This is my Dad John who provided invaluable help ! Note the antenna boom in the background - we used it to make sure we were digging in the right place !	We took the turf off, and when complete we were able to transplant it back


Getting there slowly !	We needed a cubic metre of concrete to support the mast

Filling the hole with concrete	Job done !

Building the C3SS - keep the element bundles together !	However, it soon starts to take shape. The element sections are rivetted together.

A work party from Wythall Radio Club, masterminded by Reg G7OJO mixed the concrete one Saturday morning.
Many hands make light work - we were all done in about 2 hours. My role was to feed the troops -
we called it "Bacon-Fest"......

Thanks to one and all !


Mast built, rotator added.	Trial build of the antenna. It looks quite big from here ! The eagle-eyed will spot I have put one pair of the linear loaded sections on backwards ;-)
