Sound Off!

摘要

I am grateful to reader Christopher Lycett for providing the website address of ATV in Sheffield (www. aerialsandtv.com) in his letter that appeared in the February Sound Off pages. Justin Smith, who owns and runs the business, provided me with invaluable information and, as Christopher said, the site really is packed with humour and a good helping of philosophy. My Ron Smith Galaxy 5 FM aerial was looking rather precarious after 12 years' service, being used as a perch for courting ring-neck doves not to mention scores of swallows, resting before jetting off to warmer climbs. The Galaxy 5 was mounted on a 30ft scaffolding pole supported by nine guy wires. My village is 15 miles from Pontop Pike as the crow flies while the transmitter is 70° west of Grid North and the signal strength on my Magnum Dynalab MD 107 tuner was 96/97%.
