Hopefully once every one has switched over to digital the cowboy who want to earn a quick buck will move onto other pastures !

Thanks guys - makes a good read for me - still wet behind the ears (thanks tom - will run you off the road next time I see you)
Steve - you sound like my friend Bill Wright ( Wright's Aerials )
Hes hilarious when he starts rambling (read some of his stories on his web site)

As for Single side band modulation - ooops I mean SSB brackets - not used one ever - sort of scowl at them when I see them ------ BUT and a big BUT i cant say ive been to many where they have come down! but im still a young whipper snapper and probably not seen many at all - best go get my bottle its 6pm and nearly bed time!

Mark

when I was just starting out I asked the lad behind the counter of the local supplier if there was anyone i might work with to train me up so I could learn a bit

A few month later there was this peculier fellow in the supplies and I was introduced to William Wright we chatted exchanged numbers and heard nothing for about 6 months
one sunday night I get this call about 9 pm - Bill on the phone - about 2 hours later I came off the phone with my head spinning - Has this guy just offered me a job ?

well never looked back - done countless jobs for him worked with him on some great projects and learnt ONE HELL of a lot
and hes great to fall back on if I need a question answering

Great Great friend - one of the best you could EVER have!

Thought the idea wasnt to drill into a chimney tom ?

Mark - mmm not sure how my 9 yr old would take that -
I do give him a fiver if he comes out with me and doesnt get in the way

might start introducing him to how to do stuff

My 13 year old isn't interested in the slightest -- He says its GAY installing aerials --- his friends make me laugh cause they all think my jobs cool

i would suggest that its down to you to sort out an aerial rigger - id oblige but I'm 113 miles away from Buckingham

Ask around see if your friends or relatives have had a good experience with a local rigger and give them a ring

Looks like fun and games tomorrow - ive already got a full day of retunes to do that I acquired on the 7th of september as some people simply cannot do the retunes no matter how hard you try and explain

one guy who was in his 80's I went to on the 7th had such a vast array of different branded products in 5 different rooms that it was impossible to explain the tuning method of every different component

Along with a guy in Eckington ( S21 )who could never receive Emley moor before is chomping at the bit to get correct regional news !

Got to say I told him it may be possible but untill I test reception I dont know if its possible!

I think theres going to be a lot of people who can now receive the correct news who have NEVER been able to and by changing their aerial from a group A to a group B on Emley

From what I can see people in sheffield are sick and tired of being told about scarbourgh and lincolnshire from Belmont or Central from Waltham transmitter !
