You are absolutely correct! It was bright and sunny when I erected it on Sunday. I could just make out the word TELE.. and immediately thought of Telecraft that were based in Croydon. I used to sell their indoor aerial range.
The rep was Mr Valentine. OOOW a long time ago.
The connector box was stuck fast on the Band 1 element so I decided to leave alone and join the new coax to the existing length that was still attached to the aerial. It is in very good condition and has continuity to the elements. There was a diplexer or rather the remains of it attached to the pole. I only connected the cable to the Band 1 section but a diplexer could be easily added when I uncover a couple I have squirreled away somewhere 'safe'... It is certainly picking up 'something' but it does not resemble a test card.
Happy days!
Regards, John.
