I have just put up on my shed a yagi facing North to Carlisle. See if anyone can ping in

That be interesting lee see if get a ping of it
Looks a tad close to the other pole lee. Wouldn’t that effect it?
I’ve got a 12ft mast and a 18” x 18” wall bracket on the way to set up a repeater to clear the roof and point westward. Waiting on a quote from RFgeek (Dave) about a custom node as I won’t need a solar panel but still want the battery tray.
Also went and ordered a paradar yagi, going to point that at Mike in Carlisle, my omni antenna seems to drop signal a lot.
It’s starting to all come together.

Well done sounds exciting! Upload some pictures when its all setup
i still think a decent repeater might be needed between us and carlisle though somewhere

Wigton would be perfect. Just need to find someone there to peer pressure.

needs to be up on the hills ideally
If only we could get one installed at Sandale Hill radio mast, but I dont think Arqiva would even bother opening the email.
Go stick a solar node on it. Also bare in mind the RF might De Sense the node too.
haha climb to the top and bung a 12db omni on there 
I’ll write my name and address on it too so they can send me a thank you card when the engineers find it after repairing all the damaged equipment that some clumsy idiot caused climbing the mast.
im sure that’ll be fine!….
Don’t forget getting the blame for using 18650s when the tower catches fire
