This was Rod's, G6LVJ, antenna project taking place on January 29^th 2005

Objectives:-

Recover Rod's old aluminium pole, cut the end off and  fit an antenna adapter.

Fit the antenna to the pole along with the feeder cable.

Run the cable through the loft to the shack.

 Fit a 2m/70cms diplexer to the feeder and connect up to the radios.

Check the VSWR on 2m and 70cms and test the radios.

 

Here we go again - the Antenna's R Us mobile workshop takes to the road for another project.	First job, get the mains cable out as we have some drilling to do on this one.	HXT with another bunch of knots.  If I run it out round the path I can remove all of them.	Ran out of path at the front so - round to the side path.  Now I have feeder knots tied up with bushes!!!
Round to the back path now - how long does this cable need to be - it's only a bungalow.	Gerry said he would have cut the feeder to length to save all those knots - but we know what happened last time he measured an antenna wire eh Vic!!!	In goes the top  "U" bolt.	As I said, in goes the top "U" bolt.
In goes the bottom "U" bolt. Clamp bolts loose ready for the final lift.	Up she goes and pinch the nuts.	Better get the mast square and get that last inch of height.	Feeder in and fill the holes.
There we go - all done.	Did we connect the feeder to the antenna???
