Cheap caravan one bit of wood, and a length of caravan awning rail, job done

Get a shelter sheet! Job Jobbed

Well look at that.. a forest of clarke masts!

Bet thy are pumping out some wiggly wave!!!!

Rebroing Battle Group Secure, Battle Group Insecure, monitoring HF Log Net and relaying UHF Mission.

Notice the Boiling Vessel on the rear bumperette? I need to wire one into my Disco.

Those masts were working hard, all those nets and drying my washing on the bottom guys.........




(8m Racal masts actually, Royal Signals can't Signal!!!!!)

Nice Wolf More pictures when you get a mo. 434 or Rapier stuff would be great!!!
Arnt the BV's 24v only?

Yes they are, you can run them (with the engine running!) off the 24v signals batteries.

Didnt think you you had that set up in the Disco

Sandy -I thought we'd agreed to keep 'the 48km comms challenge' quiet until Bastogne; otherwise they'll all dash out to buy the radio bits, masts, aerials etc

Quite right! See pics above, amazing what you can do with some bungies and cam poles!

check out brownchurch in east london..i got a decent one for about £100 and works wonders attached in about 3 minutes and then in out if about the same as and when...or take it off in 3 minues and easy storage...sorry not got a picture but wil post one of mine

Awesome thanks for replies people!

John, would be very interested in seeing it! thats bang on budget! i want something nice and simple, to go with my simple mind! Will keep an eye out at the indoor show :-)

Dan - have a look at mine at the show - the supplier will be there too.

Hello All,

Just incase you were wondering, i went for the "terrain" 2 meter side awning,

Put it on the motor today, looks the business and very effective against the sunshine that we had in Lundun today!

cost wasnt an arm and a leg and waht appears so far to be a quality product!

Thanks for all the advice!

Same as mine then. Get some bigger/longer pegs and it'll survive all but the windiest conditions.

Awesome!

TA Mr Burt!

Will invest in some before 2013, chame i wont get to use it this year really!

Wish i was coming with you guys so so so much!

Snap! I've the 2m terrain awning for this year.

Nick, you should ask about commission

Ditto Matt!

Looks good on the side of the motor - only problem i have is that i have a 1/2 rack on the roof, so might fix up a bracket for the front so it doesnt snag behind a tree or something stupid!

Boughts stuff to make a bracket, now need the time

Mines on 2 roof bars, on the same side as the snorkel so it will get some protection depending on how enthusiastic I get.
