Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials in 2013

Aerials that received UK 405-line TV still standing on a house in the Naas Road area of Dublin. The 4-element Band I Yagi received BBC from Divis near Belfast, whilst the Band III at the top was for ITV from the Arfon transmitter in North West Wales.
I took this picture a few weeks ago - from the Luas (Dublin Tram service) Red-Line which passes by. I was disturbed just as I was taking the picture by the ticket inspector looking to see my ticket!
The aerials were probably unused ever since cable TV was installed in the area - not sure when but probably late 1960s or early 1970s

Here's an external link to a high definition picture:

I also have the picture as attachments as back-up, but note they are low definition.
