I went to a communal system a few months ago (bloody miles away it
was) and when I finally winkled the bone idle caretaker out of his
hovel and got the roof keys off him I found that the aerial was
mounted on a waste pipe like that. This particular pipe however could
rotate freely in its mounts, so the aerial was on a sort ot wind
powered rotator. Very sound, environmentally, I thought. The situation
was complexified by the fact that were were two vertically polarised
relays in the valley, in opposite directions, and half the tenants
were tuned to one and half to the other. I picked the best and fixed
the aerial, and for weeks we had wails of disappointment from those
tuned to the other tx.

Bill,
talking of roof keys, do you know the FB series? I'm not sure what the
legal position is over access but I've noticed a fair few blocks have
gone away from using these. Used to be a time when nearly every council
block had them. Now they seem to rely on a caretaker having the
relevant keys. Not very good in normal times, let alone if access needed
in a hurry, there again a fireman's axe is quite effective I suppose.

In the major areas of population, the mains sewerage system is connected
to nearly every home.

In 1983, when large-scale cable TV really started to take off in the UK,
to avoid having to dig up the streets, there was a very serious proposal
to use the sewer system for getting the signals to the home. There was
at least one cartoon showing the incoming drop cable emerging from the
U-bend of a toilet.

I don't think that the idea died the death, and often wonder how much
the sewers ARE used as ducts for various telecommunications cables.
