Hi All,

I have updated several pages as a holding measure, until I get more time to produce better documentation.

With the arrival of Winter weather in the UK, it looks like I'll be doing this sooner rather than later - except the good conditions on 10m are very distracting.

Site updates

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 9:43 AM Comments comments (2)

Hi All,

 

Sorry there have not been any updates recently.

 

I've been busy working on a new concept of broadband antenna, which is subject to a patent application.

 

The prototypes are working very well, and if everything goes to plan the design should make it to market in about a years time.

 

Hopefully once the dark mornings / evenings and wet / cold weather start to fade away, there will be more new projects and updates to the site.

 

Regards,

 

Martin
