Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials in 2013

Interesting comments Steve. With a closer look I thought the lower aerial may have been a standard combined BI "H" with 5-element BIII type, the missing dipole probably being a dual BI/III one.

It appears they added a second 6-element BIII array to improve CH8 reception, Belford is some 50miles north of the transmitters. There's evidence of what may have been a diplexer at the bottom of the mast.

Cheers,
Brian
