OK, but please get rid of that misleading photograph. Do you know how big an antenna would be for 8.33khz?

A last word from the CAA, hopefully making it clear to one and all........
From 1 January 2018 if you need to communicate on an 8.33 kHz channel you will need to use an 8.33 kHz capable radio
Throughout 2018 ground services will be converting to 8.33 kHz. The conversion date will be decided by each individual ground station. Airspace users are strongly advised to ensure they use up to date and accurate information before flying and follow any instructions given by units. Once any ground station or service on your planned flight converts to an 8.33 kHz channel, you must only communicate using an 8.33 kHz capable radio.
There are a number of options for purchasing and installing equipment in time for the 8.33 kHz changeover deadline, including a number of ways the installation design approval can be simplified. Implementing Rule (IR) 1079/2012 says that radio equipment put into service after November 2013 should be 8.33 kHz voice communications system (VCS) capable and manufacturers must ensure radios placed on the market from this date meet this requirement.
Aircraft will need to be equipped with the number of 8.33 kHz capable radios required by operational rules. So where the carriage of two radios is required, both radios must be 8.33kHz VCS capable.
Non-commercial operations fall under Part NCO which does not include a requirement for aircraft to carry dual radios. But owners are advised to check the relevant regulation to their own operations in order to establish what is required.
Existing 25kHz radios can be left installed provided that they are only used for exempted frequencies, such as the emergency frequency.

Only 122.305 until 7 Mar, then presumably it's back to 122.3   |

Many thanks for your response to the BACC Meeting Bob, fully appreciate the distances involved.
Members of the public who attended were given an excellent and professional presentation/update by the new Blackbushe management. A detailed analysis of Business Performance in both revenue and movement figures, plans for the future, current status of the Common Deregistration application, initiatives for 2018, noise complaints and their handling, Security issues, and the current application for a number of new temporary hangars.
Any forum members attending would have found the Blackbushe presentation interesting, sadly none were there to hear it....
