Many Thanks:

 

G3BKS & G3XUM, Jim and Bill -  For providing not only inspiration but many hundreds of hours of pre license SWL.

 

G0IUA, Stuart -  For showing how it can and should be done for £5, for the expert training around mounting crazy antenna systems at crazy heights (and them still being there 20 years later) and how to be a Radio “Ham” without being a geek!!

 

Henk Penning -  For having very long arms and the ability to get a 20kg payload at the end of a 26’ mast  vertical.

 

James “Grolsch” Lynch -  Anchor man and winch operator.

 

And last but not least to my current wife, Nikki, who willingly provides beer, foots the ladder, gets really cold and didn’t realise I was going to turn the back of our house into the “Communications Antenna Platform” of a Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier   -   And, that’s not all -  she can work out coax velocity factor too!!!!  WOW what a girl eh!!!

Ebay -  for providing the means to scour the world for “bits”.

 

Yaesu -  For manufacturing the VERY BEST equipment.

 

Waters & Stanton -  For providing everything imaginable and getting it delivered within days.
