Not according to Harmsworth, circa 1925.
"Under these regulations the combined height and length must not exceed 100 feet for receiving or transmitting aerials. This length is irrespective of the number of wires employed. By the length is meant the horizontal or main aerial span, and by the height the vertical height above the leading-in point. The regulations allow of the use of a four-wire or any other multi-wire aerial of, say, 75 feet in length, and a downlead of a number of wires 25 feet in length, so that the actual length of wire used in an aerial may considerably exceed 100 feet. The leading-in point is that point at which the wires enter the house... There are no regulations limiting the size of frame aerials and the like or the length of wire which may be used."
