Aerials

The 103' aerial mast  - a solid steel tower welded to the Sarah's main deck. From this the medium wave 'T' aerial was strung to the ship's rear light tower.

The FM transmitter was positioned at the top of the tower.

The shortwave aerial was a simple dipole strung between the main tower and the conning tower.

The long wave aerial - a 15' whip aerial fixed to the deck.
