The original 160' aerial mast (originally intended for the first RNI ship, Mebo I and donated to the Peace Foundation by Mebo Ltd) collapsed on 27th January 1981)


A new mast was installed in February 1981 (this collapsed after 10 days and was replaced by a wire aerial slung between the ship's own masts  

In mid-April 1981 a new aerial mast was erected on board the ship

May 1983 the medium wave aerial was rebuilt to its full height - the station had been operating on a slung wire antenna for some time
