Activation report for the two Clee’s

[MW0PDV]

@G5JFJ

found some desense with my FT-65 on the Titterstone Clee, so it must be a new thing.

I was looking for information about this and found the quote below on the reflector from 15 years ago. It was a discussion about interference on Titterstone Clee Hill, I assume it’s still relevant today.

I think you’ll find it’s the 5 channels of 16GW erp each on 24cms that does the damage more so than the antenna polarization. That’s 80GW erp for those who count slow! Enough to upset most electronic devices.

I also found this news article from the summer about plans to upgrade the equipment.
