November 2003: Close-Up of Antennas

June 2004: Removal of one pair of 2G antennas. This would later be replaced by a pair of 3G antennas.

July 2004: Addition of a pair of 3G antennas.
This is my local Vodafone site!
This site is rather unusual as it only has two sectors and even more unusually they are separated by only 90 degrees — instead of the usual 120 degrees. The reason for the two sectors is that the site is near the harbour, so Vodafone designed the site to only broadcast signals inland — instead of sending useless signals out to the sea where other sites already provide good coverage.
Unluckly I only found this site after it was upgraded to a sectorised set-up. Previously the site had a onmi-directional set-up for many years — however I did not see the site even during my regular travels within my own suburb! It was actually pretty much by accident that I found this site at all, I just looked up one day and saw the antennas staring back at me!
