In light of which it surprised me to find in Harmsworth a drawing proposing an aerial comprising four parallel 85ft. wires, with a 15ft. downlead to the house to use the rest of the allowance. |
I read the 70ft for a two wire antenna somewhere in W.W.
I would also say the same regarding radiation.
I also read somewhere that the total length includes a wire that connects to an outside earth point although I can't see that on a copy of a licence I looked at.
I had a look in W.W. for the reason for the rule but not found anything as yet.
