The fact that you dismissed these criticisms as you did I find mildly
offensive.

Perhaps a small apology?


Yeah Sorry, No offence intended, I do not know the people on this group very
well but I knew that Bill Wright was a professional.

As long as the system works then I don`t care if its not the most perfect
job that could ever be done.


So why bother asking for opinions here?


All I asked in the first instance was, is does this look like an IRS Mast.
The simple is was yes it does but I could/did find that out from looking at
wikipedia. The comments about the competence of the installation crew were
interesting but not necessarily asked for. Sorry if you were offended in
anyway.

I'm surprised you're still making excuses for the installers shoddy
workmanship.


You forget that in Jersey, it does not "pay to criticize".

le lundi, 9 aout, 2010 15:19:01 +0100, Nick Le Lievre a crit:

FWIW here is the photo showing the Aerial clearing the roof
http://user.itl.net/~nlel/aerial4.JPG

So the useless VHF halo antenna is still shielded from that direction
by the roof and its contents.


I guess there were constraints about exactly where they could erect the
mast, in order for it to be in the required spot to make the whole project
feasible. I guess they could not just put it in the most ideal place because
connecting it up might then be ten times more difficult going down that
route. They must of surveyed the estate and decided that 2 masts were
required and that these were the best place to put them.


Nay lad. They just threw it up and put it there in order to get it to
work and sod what happens afterwards. When that falls over in a bit of a
wind they'll blame it on the weather and charge the know nothings they
sold/ supplied it too to come and do it all again;!.

I wouldn't have that rigged on my house, and If I were doing it I'd be
ashamed of it.....

All right then. I've passed no comment so far Nick, because others
have said it all, but just take my word for it, that is a **** poor
installation. I can say that just by looking at the pic -- in fact I
could say that if the pic had been taken from ten miles away in thick
fog. And don't you worry about whether I'm qualified to judge. Just
have faith.


Thanks for confirming other people`s opinions, I look up to you Bill you are
almost God like around here

I hope not. I'm an aerial rigger who is here primarily to learn from
other contributors. A lot of people round here regard me as the Devil
Incarnate, but as far as I know none regard me as God.

I was wondering why you had not expressed an
opinion so far and thought that was probably because you had more important
things to do.

No it was because others had said everything that was neccesary. I
only put my twopennorth in because the thing seemed to be going round
in circles.

By the way the aerial needs to do better than merely clear the ridge,
because of fresnel effects.

The only thing is that mast 1 is not pointing at the roof, if you look at
it on the same level its actually clearing the roof. I can provide a photo
if you like from my living room window which shows this quite clearly.


FWIW here is the photo showing the Aerial clearing the roofhttp://user.itl.net/~nlel/aerial4.JPG


It's marginal. It's too low. It needs to have about 600mm clear below
its sight line at that distance before you can be certain there won't
be untoward effects from the roof. Strange but true. When you lift an
aerial (by pushing the mast up through the brackets) to roof screening
effects don't stop 'just like that'. Funny innit?

Well you know there are other aerial installers here, and as I said, I
kept quiet for ages because they had all said everything that was
necessary.

There was a programme on a month or so back about Rolls Royce making
turbofan engines, one thing that came across was how *everyone*
interviewed was very proud of the job they do (or did) and was concerned
to do it right.

I'd imagine that if the fruits of your labour is all that keeps hundreds
of people from hurtling to their death it concentrates the mind a little
more than than ensuring little old ladies can watch Corrie!
