and general buildings. Very few line-of-sight propagation paths existed.
The two antennae were mounted on a crossbar on the top of a 7-metre pump up mast.
Initially they were left hanging below the bar so that they were in free space. However, it
was found that the wind disturbed them too much so they were firmly fixed onto the
crossbar alongside other existing antennae.
The cameraman was based in a small rigid inflatable dingy and moved freely around the
water both in and out of the marina. Live coverage of racing was reliably achieved at
distances of up to 1½km. Interviews were held both inside and outside the clubhouse.
