Richard Cooper: I am afraid I beg to differ, as you are adding unnecessary complication / expense to a relatively simply job. My reason for saying this being, that the difference in the signal level received from Wells via the wideband aerial presently used for Belmont against what would be obtained using a dedicated group type is likely only to be of a fractional nature when dealing with high end channels in the 51-60 range, especially when receiving a signal from a 1Kw transmitter located at only 4 miles away.
That said, the situation would of course be totally different if we were referring to channels in a much lower group, such as those say in the 21-35 range, as although most wideband aerials are reasonably efficient at the top end of the range, they are not where lower frequencies are concerned, this being where a dedicated group aerial really does score over that of a wideband type.
Another point that has to be remembered, is that the aerial presently used already receives Belmonts C53 and C60, and although the possibility does exist that Belmont's lower end channels "might" be picked up during a retune, the problem is easily rectified by carry out a manual tune on the three multiplexes used by Wells, being 57 / 51 / 56.
As far as the issue of aerial polarity is concerned, I think that I have already explained that.

jb38: Hi, JB38. I must say you have probably hit the nail on the head by saying that my proposal for the viewer in Wells-next-the-sea was unnecessarily complicated /expensive. My problem solutions have been described as such by people in the past. I would like to thank you for correcting me as to the reasons for investing in a grouped aerial for Wells, not making much difference. Feel free to interject in the future if any more of my posts turn out to be technically inaccurate. I must try harder to ensure they are not! Naughty boy, slapped wrist! Richard, Norwich, Weds. 8th. June, 4:45 p.m.
