Default FM aerials and riggers

Seven years ago I paid £40 to install an aerial; I supplied the aerial,
fixing kit and co-ax cable. He had the ladders. So perhaps the quoted
price is not too bad.

Last August, Hi-world did a piece on aerials, a copy may be available from
their subscriptions department. They suggested a Antiferance 3 element VHF
aerial and an All-rounder dipole ( the round element) it all depends on
transmitters.

In this piece, they listed: www.cai.co.uk - trade body for installing
aerials , www.maplin.co.uk and www.maxview.co.uk (links not tested).

There is a company in Brize Norton village called A's who I think do aerial
installation. Also phone Audio T 19 Old High Street, Headington,01865
765961: they should be able to supply a name.

I live in Oxford, off the Iffley road, and am quite happy with my £14-15 (7
years old) 3 element VHF aerial . It picks Virgin FM no sweat.

Hope this helps.

Paul
