Brian,

I think towards the end of Band III TV aerial production Antiference sold a range of narrow-band (ie in distinction from their semi-widband and wideband Band III designs) which were cut to just cover 2 TV channels, using a folded dipole compared to their 'trumatch' dipole. These were for fringe areas. The Band III aerial in post 206 fits the bill.

As for the Band I one, yes I've discovered that a channel B5 and a VHF/FM Band II aerial can be mistaken for each other unless you have one of each side-by-side on the same mounting pole. By the way, Premier Aerials made 3 el Band I designs that used folded dipoles.
