July 2012

It's rest day during Wimbledon, definitely the best time to have a wander around the immediate area. Up at the top of the hill overlooking the LTA headquarters is a pretty photogenic church and, as I got closer I noticed that there was a modern addition to the architecture.... St Mary's Church is the transmit site for Radio Wimbledon - an RSL which is on-air from 08:00 to 22:00 daily during the Championships. Two other RSLs operate at lower power within the All England Club courts

The church from the main entrance. From here you can see the end-fed TX, with a link yagi directed towards the LTA headquarters just down the road.

Closer in, a relatively discreet installation!

Even closer in and even more detail, unfortunately I couldn't quite see the entire installation from this angle, for obvious reasons!

Detail from the previous image.

A better idea of the setup, but unfortunately without the help of the sky for contrast. Hopefully you can make out enough detail.
