Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials 2013 to the present day.

Looks in remarkably good condition for its age. We used to receive mendip down in Charmouth. When Stockland Hill went UHF you couldn't get a decent signal down in the town because of severe ghosting. They put up a tower at 'Stonebarrow' on the cliffs, received a signal from Mendip and converted it to VHF, it was distributed by a wired system called 'Viewline'. They also had it in Lyme regis and Beer.

Of course you needed a dual standard set to be able to receive it. There is now a Stockland Hill repeater on the site.
