-Peter VK7PH, hopefully soon VK6HP, has moved to VK6 and is looking for some help with the erection of his antennas. He lives in Leeming, in a brick and tile house with a mezzanine level and an associated high-ish (20 foot) gabled roof. He's looking to put a lightweight 20’ fibre glass mast at the gable apex and secured into the mezzanine timber work. It’s a pretty modest set-up: just a ZS6BKW doublet, and some 450 ohm ladder line. The doublet runs diagonally across the block, and he’ll secure it to a tree at the back, and a tree or a pole in the front. If it wasn't for a recent leg operation, he'd be up there himself.

If you'd like to help a fellow amateur and want to take the opportunity to discuss amateur radio and astronomy, get in touch. You can contact Peter on his mobile 0400 801 531.
