GB3HI – View Across Lismore To The Mainland – Aerial In Middle – Click Picture
For the last couple of years HI has been suffering a form of ‘BLOCKING‘. This was tracked down to the HI’s collinear and the internal components. Thus required to be replaced.
John – MM0JRM (HI’s Keeper) and Robert – GM4GUF, took advantage of the lovely wx during the last weekend to carryout the replacement. (the replacement aerial was kindly supplied by Paul – GM1YUO Fort William)
In discussion with Robert on 2, he has supplied a couple of pictures which may give you an idea just how well this repeater is placed to serve the West Coast amateur community.
