Collage of project photos UK Amateur Radio Station
G5VZ

The station is located just south of Pontefract in Yorkshire, UK - quite close to the junction of the A1, The Great North Road as was, and the M62. WAB square SE41; Maidenhead Locator IO93ip.  We're about 35m above sea level.

On the front of the house I have a 2m and 70cm collinear; from that pole, across the house and into the back garden is a doublet; the centre of the doublet is supported by a mast fixed to the back wall of the house and that supports a four metre vertical.  I have a SRC HF360 vertical mounted on a short scaffold tube cemented into the ground in the back garden.  In the roof space along with a doublet there's a 70MHz vertical dipole.
