I bet the aerial on the wall is for the warden/manager.

Emley (which I use) is analogue 37, 41, 44, 47, 51 and digital is 40,
43, 46, 49, 50, 52.

My simple maths suggests that the N+5/N=5 rule is truly no more.


The n+9 rule hasn't been obeyed for ten years. Bilsdale analogue includes
26 and 35.


by the time C5 appeared sets had got better. My aerial set up had CP on 33
& Hannington on 42. My original colour set, Thorn 3000 series (ISTR) ,
didn't like it - later sets didn't mind. But I had to remove the
Hannington feed when Digiatl TV came along. Can't remember why - it might
have been N+9 again. That was with the old ITV digital box.

It would have been because from Nov 1998 until Aug 2000, both CP and
Hannington each used E29 for one of the muxes.

Hannington ditched the used of E29 in 2000, but Oxford now uses it.

That makes very good sense - except that Hannington doesn't radiate digital
in my direction. But perhas there was enouh to muck up cpCP.

I've got a feeling the E29 mux had a different radiation pattern, to the
present DTT transmissions. It had to be restricted towards the NW of
Hannington, because of Cirencester analogue, so there might have been
more radiation eastwards ?

The aerials were all mounted vertically on a single
mast, all with vertical polarisation. In your
example, the aerials are mounted on horizontal spars
and the vertical separation is greater. Which would
be worse for overlapping fields?

It's hard to say really, but in general I would have thought that if the
dipoles were broadside on there would be more chance of signal passing from
one to the other.

Could be coupling between the two sections of coax running alongside
each other, this is likely to be comparable to the coupling between
the two antennas.

I believe many modern digital tuners use a zero IF technique with the
recovered I & Q signals being applied directly to the demodulator
chipset. So the avoidance of channels for fear of Local Oscillator re-
radiation problems imay no longer be necssary.
