I'm in a RF hole in Bromley but can go mobile to nearby hills if they have a LOS to Rochester. One in particular looks over London and may go easterly enough. Lots of gain this end.

Interested to see there is some interest in atv growing again in Kent area ...I've got gear for 5.6ghz ..only low power at moment .also got 50w of 437mhz DATV available into a 18 ele beam .
Doesn't take long to set up 70cms ...normally stored in a box due to lack of activity around here .

Or better still connect it to the composite video out of your Portsdown Raspberry Pi and you can use the Portsdown test cards:

Is it possible to capture the analog video out from the Portsdown so I could store the test card on, say, an SD Card?

Actually, I have just found a rather nice little free app in the Mac OSX App Store. It is called TestCard and is dead easy to use with export available as PNG. It will certainly do me for my 5.6ghz testing.
