Re: Mi Amigo LV18 1575 AM
I do have pictures, yes but it's not possible to post pictures to this forum without linking to my own cloud storage which would be unwise. The antenna is fed by an antenna tuning unit as you would expect and has a capacity hat on the top in the form of 'X' shaped horizontal rods a couple of feet long with anti-bird spikes on the top side. Similar to those that were used by hospital RSL's but with the addition of the centre loading coil which seems to help a fair bit. There is indeed an old inverted 'L' wire antenna also on the ship which has been there for many years but is definitely not in use and the vertical was only put up in the last few weeks.
