People had two Band-III antennas. The typical setup being a classic dipole-and-director "H" or "X" for Band-I BBC [Sutton Coldfield], a 3- or 5-element BIII for Lichfield ATV (usually fitted lower down the BI mast) and a 5- or 7-element BIII for Granada Winter Hill.
Sometimes the Sutton Coldfield/Lichfield antennas were a combined Antex "X"-and-BIII array with something better for Granada.
Chimneys in the Wales/Shropshire border area needed to be strong! |
That answers my query, thanks.
