Looks like a
TRIAX LTE Unix 52 Element High Gain TV Aerial Group T Channels 21-60
Advertising an aerial with a mileage is a bizarre uniquely American practise where presumably there is no equivalent to our advertising standards authority, over here they'd smell the BS within seconds.And don't beleave those adds about a 150 mile TV antenna, there is NO SUCH THING...(not for direct line of sight that is)
It's a Blake DMX 52. Not bad high gain aerials, not used one in a while.
Better off using band pass filters with a wideband aerial, as depending on which transmitter you are aiming for, some multiplexes will be moved out of band in readiness for 700 mhz band clearance.
Depends which transmitter, as Crystal Palace will be moving mutliplexes 7 and 8 up into the fifties prior to full clearance.The Triax I'm using has a roll off built in at around 610MHz (Channel 37) so it's all good for the next two stages.
The antenna i'm talking about comes from China, and is marketed by China, I guess that they have some type of special metal that it's made from that bends radio waves down to it.Advertising an aerial with a mileage is a bizarre uniquely American practise where presumably there is no equivalent to our advertising standards authority, over here they'd smell the BS within seconds.
It is Cystal Palace, and the two muxes are currently at a fifth of the power of 1-6, and I believe unwanted, the site already has a satellite system in place collecting signals from Astra 2, 13E and a fully steerable antenna.Depends which transmitter, as Crystal Palace will be moving mutliplexes 7 and 8 up into the fifties prior to full clearance.
Not sure, they may even disappear, Digital UK weren't sure, but now recommend wideband aerials for all jobs, something I've been doing for years.
