Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials in 2013

Hi Steve,

The location's quite clear to the South. Interesting thoughts there. One would love to travel back to see what sets the aerials were connected to and what reception was like, if only we could....

They were no UHF aerials attached. It seems the property had become derelict as scaffolding had been put up to replace the roof tiles.

Does seem surprising in view of the distances involved that more elaborate array(s) wern't erected. The lower combined BI/III aerial is typical of installations well within the primary service area. I too think it may have been top mounted originally with the second top BIII aerial added later when they discovered CH8 wasn't too well received.

Cheers,
Brian
