Aerial mast base

[nigel ward]

Hi All

Lynn- I have "D" section aerial lengths. As far as I am aware, they come in 3,4 and 6 feet sections. If your carrier has #11 radio gear I think you need 2 of the 4 feet sections and 1 of the 6 feet sections. They are about 3/4" in width. A.O.P 's than have a bag of 3 feet areials with ground spike, pegs, ropes and other items. This I have also. Some other carriers may have carried this as well. I do have a spare 6 feet section up for grabs.

There must be an aerial section about 5/8 width because the "mushroom" I have is not for the 7/8 "D" section aerial sections.

And

To answer Tony, I beleive the "mushroom" is made of "Ebonite". To me it looks like masonite underlay material that you see under vinyl floor coverings.
I only know this because Nigel Watson pointed it out to me in "wireless for the Warrior", vol1 when I was last speaking to him.

And

To cletrak- Thanx for pickiling me up on me spellin, how remis if me. I new wot I ment, but others may not off. Spelt is in the dictionery.spose its all in haw ya use it.

Kindest Regards and fondest memories

Nigel
