Skybrokers relocated a VertexRSI 11.1m antenna to Cobbett Hill Earth Station UK
in October 2013 Skybrokers project- and installation team relocated a VertexRSI 11.1m antenna from Brookmans Park London to Cobbett Hill Earth Station close to Guildford UK. The whole operation took 8-9 weeks and was conducted by a four-member installation team. The de-installation took 3 weeks to dis-assemble and transport the antenna parts on trucks to the other side of London. With great help of the folks of Cobbett Hill we re-installed, aligned, cleaned and successfully tested the antenna prior to hand it over to the client.
