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

Yes Peter You are correct Plastic Hi StuartTBI

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

Eugene 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 StuartG0TBI

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

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

Hey Gary! Thanks for the note. I have no idea what length it is supposed to be, unfortunately. But one email in this chain suggested 1 meter? That sounds more like VHF than HF, though. Since you are

Gee, what a shock that I was sold an uncomplete base that was advertised as complete. Caveat Emptor on me. Looking past all the Forester shenanigans, thank you for the explanation. I will google this

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

I have rods for the left one somewhere in storage if you have the correct length I can check to see if they are the ones.The tool in the picture is to install the connector for the cable at the base

The official title is Wrench, Spanner. VAOS No: Z1/ZA50362 Designed by SRDE, part No. SD/A166397 Strangely, it has two current NSNs: 5120-21-111-9183 and 5120-99-103-5591. Used to tighten the aerial

The HF whip appears to be something that just slots into the base and then one tightens the big black nut at the top to tighten against the whip. The VHF is different, but the HF is the one I can’t

The spanner as you call it is a peg puller/remover from the GMM antenna kit, it is used to withdraw the four pegs holding it down and is housed with the pegs in the carry case. Doug TA sema4radios

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

Not ferrite beads, but plastic cup-shaped insulators. The photo shows some of these insulators plus the special spanner for the centre 'nut' on the underside of the HF base that clamps the P11 cable

Hiya Stuart, and don’t worry old bean, I’ve heard your impeccable morse and rarity of typos (or equivalent of a morse typo). I think the group will forgive you. Eugene! I’m sure I’ve seen

Thanks, Stuart, Here is the underneath (base is sitting in a bin at the moment) of the HF base. https://w2hx.com/x/1986-Tithonus/Antennas/0720201515.jpg I am beginning to wonder if I was cheated out

Spelling awful must change Keyboard evening and Ferrite!!

Eugene and Co (Evning Spence) I would be interested in seeing underneath the base of each, the Larkspur aerial base as an example had a lenght of P11 cable that had ferrit beads running either sid eof

Thanks, Spencer. Funny but as an American, I do have this notion of Brits being very trustworthy and dependable. Maybe that’s just my Hollywood-tinted view of it all hihi! For a Tithonus project I
