For some transmissions these areas overlap.
Each large area is sub-divided into smaller more useful sub-areas. The latitude/
longitude datum point (area centre) for each of these is given in the section
entitled Hamburg Weather Forecast Areas and Co-ordinates.
When you are familiar with how Weatherman operates, you will appreciate that
this service gives you plenty of weather information for all times and for all quoted
areas.
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Many types of electrical apparatus emit interference and it is important that the
antenna be well clear of such interference. Troublesome items are alternators,
ignition coils, motors, strip lights, inverters etc. Select a position as far from likely
sources of interference as is practical and mount the aerial using the flange on the
base. Ensure that the antenna is at least 30cms from other metal structures that
are parallel to it.
Whilst the antenna should be mounted as high as possible for best results, deck
level mounting has proved to be satisfactory in most cases.
A pushpit mounting bracket is available from your chandler, or Nasa Marine
spares department. The bracket permits the antenna to be mounted to any 25mm
diameter horizontal rail.
Run the antenna lead back to the receiver. The cable can be shortened or
lengthened using standard 75 ohm coaxial cable.
