Hi everyone,
I finally got back to the site and managed to remove the locks and get the cabinet open. There's not much in there but it does appear to be a repeater site, with Boral Resources and a funeral company listed by name along with their call signs. I am not sure why a funeral company would need its own repeater! I have uploaded some more photos of what's inside here: https://imgur.com/a/mwNquYG
I completely forgot to take a measuring tape to measure the legs of the mast, but I'm guessing that's no longer important as the labels inside list the exact frequencies (well two of them anyway).
Out of curiosity, what are the things with the black labels reading LN, HN and ANT? There are some thick copper coils coming out the back of them going into the antenna connectors. Is it some sort of filter, or something to deal with any lightning strikes to the mast, or something else?
I presume nothing in here is of any value (given the site was abandoned) so eventually I will pull it all out and dispose of it, but if there's anything worth preserving let me know. I'd be happy to send it on to anyone interested if they cover the cost of postage, bearing in mind it will likely be some time before I am able to remove it.
