The "Flying saucer" Biconical monopole transmit antenna. It was transferred to Melbourne Radio from
 Hobart radio when Hobart closed. Not often used, because it caused interference to the station
 receivers - It was sited too close to the main station building. A very complex antenna to rig,
 and quite dangerous - A rigger was injured during installation.
