Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

Are they digital?

Owain

I knew someone would ask that. OK, I admit it, they are for three black
and white analogue channels? You've caught me out. Satisfied?

Well it might help if you said where they were. It could be a long
journey to collect a 15 quid aerial.

There's an assortment of XG14s, XG21s, MBM48s, MBM70s, MBM88s, various
groups. They are in the loft and hard to get at so I thought I'd see if
there was any interest before I went to have a look. It's 16 miles from
here as well.

Years ago I had a customer who had lived in Aberdeen and had retired to
Yorkshire, where he lived in a terrible reception area. He refused to
believe that there could be a reception problem on the grounds that
'this is near London'.


A few years ago, not long after I had discovered this group, friends
bought and restored a cottage in Wales, on the border west of
Shrewsbury. I called in just after they had finished, when he said the
TV signal was crap, he had installed the aerial from his old house.
Find out what you need for this area, I told him, one that works for
Waltham won't work here.

I'm clearing my dad's house and there a quite a few TV aerials there.
Ignoring the rubbish, there are some boxed high gain types. These are from
the Antiference XG range and the Jaybeam MBM range. All the aerials are
grouped. There are also some TC18As. Some of these aerials are from the
1980s but they are still in the original boxes. Some of the boxes are
battered, but the contents are OK. These are the high gain aerials of
choice if you want a grouped aerial. They knock the spots off wideband
models. I was thinking that maybe £15 to £25 would be fair for each
aerial, depending on type. If anyone's interested I'll go and note down
the exact types and groups. It would have to be buyer collect though.
These things would take a lot of parcelling up. If anyone wants to take
the lot I would accept maybe £15 per aerial.

Bill


How much?!?

www.aerialsandtv.com just up the road from you will do a brand new 18
element aerial for £26 - we bought one this year.

These are brand new large high gain grouped aerials, not 18 element aerials.
