I live within a couple of dozen miles of Sandy Heath and replaced my UHF aerial with a wideband one some years ago. I can see the top lights of the transmitter from the top of my road and suspect my aerial can 'see' it without obstruction.
Moving to a new house a mile away, I thought I'd take my wideband aerial with me (it's in the loft). I tried the reception in my old house on the old UHF aerial, found the signal strength and quality were almost as good as the wideband aerial. I also found they were almost the same on the aerial lead with no aerial connected.
I don't undersand this stuff, can anyone enlighten me as to why I bought a wideband aerial?
Perhaps I'd been better off spending my money on an Ariel Red Hunter/ Arrow/Leader?
