A nice treat for you...

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:
