[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 863433, member: 199791"] 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 [/QUOTE]
