Nick G4IKZ has just sent me this link to
G0SXC's QRZ.com page showing his massive yagi for 28MHz. It has a boom length of 78 feet and a gain of 13.1dBd. Remember that each element is about 16 feet long, so you get an idea what a monster this is. I bet his neighbours must love him! This also explains why Kevin is such a consistent signal in East Anglia some 200 miles away.
Especially since his QTH, according to Google Maps, is a row of back to backs in Clitheroe. You would think that you could see an antenna that size from the aerial photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd my wife complains that my 4 foot square 28MHz wire halo is an eyesore!
ReplyDeleteJust noticed the road parallel to Kevin's is called Tower Hill. Very apt.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth does he hide it!
ReplyDeleteMust be using stealth technology.
