I went with a UNI-220409 log periodic which is an active antennae with 26-28 dBi gain, just a few hundred yards up the road from my location are at least 3 properties who's aerials are pointing towards Tacolneston one of which is a log periodic and the other two yagi types.
I'm quite confident that with the extra height of the longer mast and the gain on the Unispectra antennae that I'll get a reasonable if not good signal, waiting for the weather to improve before I chance getting up on the roof.
Didn't realise but as I went for WF125 I had to buy larger diameter fplugs as the cable is thicker, might not have been necessary but hopefully the lower loss cable will pull every bit of signal into my free view box & hopefully a worthwhile upgrade over my existing WF100
Will update once I've got it up with my experience.
