Day two back at work after two weeks of annual leave, and I'm ready for a week off now.
Well, my absolute cuteness got us all over the hump and free wheeling in to the weekend. Go me!

The evolution of my witches hat mast topper. 1 proof of concept 2 added mounting holes for antennas 3 reduced brim & tidied mounting holes 4 added additional space in centre for attaching to top section of the mast
