Attention: Capt Ralph Kerr
Dear Sir:
As I still have the opportunity to include some
operational experience with the new TRYLON Laport
Antenna in my report, it would be of interest to
have a little bit more information on the Receiving
equipment.
Would it be possible for you to obtain a short
description of the Receiving set-up in England?
The following questions are of interest and should
be covered.
1.

Type and characteristics of Receiving
Antennas including dimensions.

2.

Method and instrumentation of signal
strength recordings.

Thanking you for your co-operation in obtaining
these data, we are,
Yours very truly
THE WIND TURBINE COMPANY OF CANADA
