   Ron, Doug,

   I guess this could be the BBC promotional picture on their posters?

   Subject: Poster with K2 and AC7AC on wall of BBC WS in Bush House


   Forgive me if this has been discussed to death already, but I'm not on the
   list all the time.

   Due to my interest in books, sailing, theatre, etc., I come to the UK
   regularly, and often have gazed at the Mecca of SW broadcasting while
   waiting at Aldwych for the bus; and patronize the BBC shop on the ground
   floor regularly.

   It turns out, another member of the Arthur Ransome Society works as an audio
   engineer for the BBC WS, and was on duty late last night, so gave me a
   midnight private tour of Bush House.  We were going up a large staircase and
   I saw in the distance a WS promo poster with what looks like a homebrew rig,
   so I go closer.  It turns out, it's Ron AC7AC quoted about the WS, and the
   homebrew rig is on top of a K2 in the photo.  So, there's currently a photo
   of a K2 on the wall of a staircase in the home of the BBC World Service.

   Perhaps Ron can give us more information about the homebrew rig shown?
