Re: Mobile British antenna bases (was OT)
Eugene and all
I have uploaded a few photo's of the cable we are talking about, apologies they are a bit grubby, they were in a box in my outside shed! you will see the rain protectors half way along(Rubber Bung) that stops the rain rolling down lead and into your vehicle, I used these through canvas on a S111 Land Rover, and I am sure they were used in other applications, you can see the spade termination on the far end that would be clamped behind the ATU to the Hot terminal, the plastic end that screws to aerial base as seen in the photo's is dull after 40 plus years of sitting idle, I have no doubt if you cut back the P11 cable an inch or so, it would be virginal Hi
I do have though somewhere a reel of New P11 cable Lucky me
Anyway hope that's of help
And Eugene let me know how I can help, ready and able..

Looking past all the Forester shenanigans, thank you for the explanation. I will google this P11, not a term I have come across on this side of the pond. I would love to see a picture/diagram of how this HF thing ?works. Seems that the
HV wire gets stuck into some kind of plastic nut and then screwed in (or fit into) this base. And it seems one needs this special spanner/puller/thingy to do the installation. Seems complex.

As for the VHF base and the matching network, anyone have any information on this? Or a VSWR plot vs frequency or maybe a S11 smith chart for this antenna?

Thanks all.

Hi Eugene,
It looks as if you've not been sold a complete base. There should be a plastic nut to fit in the threaded hole in the middle. There is a hole through the plastic nut that the P11 wire feeds through. The strands of the wire are then splayed out over a metal washer and these are then fixed into the threaded hole with a spanner/wrench. I just wish I had a base to send you photographs. The HF base has no built-in matching - that is taken care of by an external ATU that the P11 wire connects to. The Yeoman VHF base has an inbuilt matching unit and can be fed direct from a transceiver. I hope that this helps, Peter G4DJB |

Yes Peter
You are correct Plastic Hi

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Thinking about it Spence/Eugene
The whips both VHF and HF? are still in use today by UK Military, so although the bases are badged specifice to Yeoman I am sure they will fit, as formerley Racal provided the Aerial bases and kit for the BOWMAN programme
I am not sure who followed Racal, I know Cobham had a hand in it, but perhaps now THALES is looking after that side, too many cooks I am afraid
Cheers

It is the same as previous generations of side HF Ant mounts, will dig out one of those cable assembly and photograph unless someone beats me to it and send it to you and group

Here is the underneath (base is sitting in a bin at the moment) of the HF base.

I am beginning to wonder if I was cheated out of a complete base here. Anyone know?

The VHF Yeoman base has a BNC.
Anyone have any documentation on these bases? Any info? Matching circuits in the base, etc?

Re: Mobile British antenna bases (was OT)
Hi Eugene,
The spanner is not absolutely necessary, especially on the base you have. Some of the HF bases did have the connection point deeply set so this spanner was essential. As for VSWR plots I may have one somewhere, but it does very much depend on the vehicle? (and location) where the antenna base was located. The antenna system was designed to cover 30-108MHz so you can imagine that the matching network is a bit of a compromise. The P11 cable is nothing specific really. Its basically a 12AWG / 4mm2 stranded copper wire with heat resisting, high voltage rated outer insulation. Peter G4DJB |

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
The ones that I have are about 1 meter each and they screw together in the middle, I will see what I can find in the storage building and the shop, I know I have a couple of new base antennas for the jammer system that look the same.

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Hi Spence,
I can confirm that the VHF whip is a two-section fibreglass type. If looking around rallies and the like you have to be careful that you are buying the VHF whip and not the Yeoman HF whip which looks similar, but they have different thread sizes to prevent the HF whip being fitted to a VHF base and vice versa. 73, Peter G4DJB |
