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

Certainly, when we lived in Durham, not far from Pontop Pike and Burnhope, BBC2 reception was awful from the attic VHF aerial. Chs 5 and 8 were received perfectly however. So, despite the horizontal mounting, a UHF aerial is/was a must.

Funny to think years later, reception of ATV from Oxford UHF was better on a fixed six element Band 2 aerial than it was from a UHF rotatable one which was a bit odd!
