[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1046331, member: 176362"] Mk 2 antenna built. 1 6ft broom handle type thing found in the back of the shed 1 chocbloc connector, 2 pieces of thickish garden wire for the antenna elements, a longer piece of coax so I can just get it clear of the house. West passes are still going to have the house in the way on the northern part of the pass but east should be better. This is completely experimental and will only be possible during reasonable weather as the elements will never survive a good Scottish gale - that improvement will come with a future mk 3. So now awaiting a couple of good passes to see what the improvement is :D Once Ive found a reasonable design I shall relocate the antenna over onto the top of the dish supports well clear of the house [/QUOTE]
