[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 996756, member: 404998"] Good evening most knowledgeable gentlemen of the Satellite forum. : ) I have noticed that this is not a satellite aerial as the dustbin lid is missing off the back. We live in Mullion Cove Cornwall which is located between two cliffs, the transmitter at Redruth perhaps 20 mile away it completely screened. Out of interest I put up a UHF aerial a couple of years ago on a long pole, with a fully screened preamp, plus low loss coaxial able. I had to fit another amplifier before the distribution amp in the loft space before it would produce a picture. It works surprisingly well, but will drop our under certain weather conditions. The UHF aerial in the images, was given to me when the cottage next door was sold and renovated. It had been mounted on a pole in the garden, Dorcus the old farmers wife who lived there did not bother much with TV and had trouble with the reception anyway. If Dorcus should ever read this and see that I referred to her as old I am dead : ) It looks to be a better made aerial than the one we have, so I have been cleaning up the connecting box. The spacing of the rods which are just clipped on the boom looks odd to me, in that the last three before the dipole are all the same distance apart ? I have searched online but cannot find a similar one. Has anyone of you gentlemen a thought on the subject. God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
