16 years ago, I remember the day it started too cos I was the only one in the house who could pick it up on my rigged up setup... :P

So someone's 10 years out... :D

Well yes a decade ahead of my time for the fifth but the channel reception was fine on all four, slip of the finger or senility, you decide
 
Careful, you may have to start paying Poll tax... :-rofl2

Whilst that may have been a novelty for some, we have always paid our way and are now suffering the consequences of that.
 
One would now be far better off had the Poll tax been kept under its original incarnation.

The "rates" system? I missed all that being an 80's birth, but often hear how much better it was than Thatcher's poll tax... :confused

Well, that's that thread officially off topic... :-rofl2

But to bring it back on, I made myself an aerial earlier in the year, all I used were a couple of equal lengths (I think about 30cm, probably wrong for the frequencies involved) of copper wire and one of them aerial plugs with the 2 screws on them, put it all together and it works nicely being so close to Pontop Pike, it's pretty much a more advanced coat hanger aerial, but it does the job, most of the time... :D
