EQUIPMENT
My station equipment and general arrangement at mid 2007 was as below. All equipment is currently in storage.

The antennae in use were the dual band J pole antenna operational over the entire 6Mtr band (50 – 54MHz) and the entire 2Mtr band (144 – 148MHz), a 70cm (430-450Mhz) co-linear with J pole feed arrangement, a 3.5 - 30Mhz HF antenna system made up of a All Band HF Dipole and 'Z' Match ATU  and a steerable 435MHz patch antenna array for satellite up and down linking. 

The patch array is fed with low loss LMR400 coax and associated fittings.
