  1.  @MrBillmcminn  The last one in the video appeared to have a horizontal transmit antenna. Relays are mostly vertical, but horizontal ones aren't completely unknown.

  2. Here, normally the main transmitters are horizontally polarised and most of the relays vertically polarised. I was going to make a comment on that last one in the video as it is a horizontally polarised relay, which is much rarer than vertically polarised. G1YJY.

  3. We got a lot of rain, so it's generally very green. The Manchester area gets more than many places in England...

  4. All three received horizontal, but the last one of the three also transmitted horizontal, which, as you say, is unusual, but not unknown, for a relay.

  5. We do!

  6. Depends on the relay. Guildford has the full gamut, including HD. Up in the South Wales Valleys we only get light.

  7. If you want something you can put up and take down and only want to hold a wire, look at the telescopic fibreglass poles. DX Commander do one which is 18m (60ft) but that generally requires guy ropes. A lot of places do 12m poles including DX Commander, Spiderbeam, Spirit of Air, among others. Waters and Stanton/Nevada Radio currently have the Spiderbeam on sale for £110 and the Spirit of Air for £60.

  10. Do a search for "DVB", to refine to terrestrial, try "DVB-T". For satellite "DVB-S". Terrestrial and satellite use similar standards but not the same.

  11. Or does it? Maybe that's what he wants you to think.

  12. Listen out for the signals from Russia detailed in some of Lewis' other videos.

  13. Why?

  14. No, a scanner discone is normally for VHF/UHF, so won't be much good for HF (shortwave). Anything stopping you getting some sort of wire in the air?
