For those who have been following the WSPR activities here of late, which have focussed on VK3MO and VK3QN, then you may have wondered what the various set-ups at VK3 look like.
Now, thanks to Ian, VK3MO's kind consent, I am able to share with you the fantastic images of VK3QN, which was set up a couple of years ago with the aim of utilising low angle radiation. In this respect, it does very well, usually being about 3dB stronger than VK3MO, which has 8 more elements in operation by comparison.
This, then, is Ian's very professionally-installed VK3QN WSPR 'beacon', as it is currently being operated, with a slightly odd aspect ratio due to the mobile phone camera used to capture the images:
