Myself and Dan went to pick up the 10m mast and found it was not one continuous mast, not even 2 pieces, but about 5 seperate sections bodgied together - even had a tyre iron in there to complete the friction coupling. I got a lot of RG213 co-ax, the UHF CB 6DB and 9 DB antennas, the sections of mast and that was it. The antennas have seen better days but I have restored one of them to a working condition which will probably go up on the new mast. Speaking of which I will still need to buy a new mast but can use the sections I got on the weekend as a cross beam.
No new contacts to report but I have made some progress on the 10 metre man-pack/portable. I purchased a Philps TP-92 which was used to set a Philips FM-92 up as a portable unit. I've now put my Dragon on there and started re-fitting a lot of the old and obsolete components. The watt meter has arrived and I'm waiting on the Li-Po battery and regulator to arrive before I commence the wiring.
