It all happens here. |
 What it looks like up the tower! |

 GB3FN (right), cavity filters, and control box |
 On the left, GB3FM, then the frequency standards,then the 70cm filters. Below, the duplexer that has been used for GB3FM: now only the RX section is used. The home made cavity is also on 23cm in the GB3FM transmit leg.

 The guardians of the site... |
 ...with their king sized leader... |
 ... who are encouraged by a floor that's not the driest in the world.... |
 ...even with an automatic pump that does its best to get rid of the water... |
 ...which comes in because we are surrounded by our own, personal moat! |
 The beacons being installed. 5.7GHz is on the right, 47GHz on the left. |
 The view from the tower towards the North East. |
The site in 2019. At least the trees that touched it at one time have been cut back. |
 And what the site looked like in 1982 when the original antenna was installed. Look - no trees! Photo: G8KSM. |
