Here are a few photos taken at the EME site. They were taken with a cheap digital camera, hence the somewhat poor quality.
Please click on the thumbnails to see the fullsize versions.

A view of the site looking north. The equipment cabin is in the foreground right, whilst the ISF12 can be seen in the background. The red pole just to the left of the ISF12 is the redundant outer marker antenna array. |
|
Another view of the site compound, this time from the south. The overhead power lines are not as close as they appear in the photo. |

View of the 12m whip from the south. The earthmat comprises of 36 15-mere radials buried under the grass. |
 |
A close up showing the base of the ISF12 and insulator. The red enclosure contains the automatic antenna tuner. The red antenna in the background is the 75 MHz outer marker array. |

This is the ABX400 beacon transmitter, housed in the equipment cabin. It comprises of two identical transmitters allowing a rapid changeover in the event that the on-air one develops a fault. |
