I, somewhere, have a photo of an aerial coming out the sea. At low tide it
can be seen to be at the end of a jetty. That was in Loch Fyne.

I notice there's one tar line across the width of the carriage way
(just about where that hyperlink plonks you), but its only a single,
so unlikely to be traffic data telemetry.

Back towards the church there's been a trench across the road at
some point and then backfilled.
....biblical internets?




Why not just use a dish?

Possibly because neither an aerial nor a satellite dish wd be welcome on
the church (a listed building) or within its grounds?

and it is possible that the high ground to the SE is blocking the satellite
path,

In the other direction there's another property on the same side of the
road as the church...and a railway signal??! http://tinyurl.com/oxvsx6o


Aww sweet;) Pity the railway is no more anyway..

Beechinged, I fear. Close in 1966.


That might be about the only position where any signal can be had just
there. Or it Might be a sort of self help system they do exist in areas
like that where a receive aerial gets the main signal and sends it down a
long co-ax to an amplifier to other aerials that re transmit the original
signals...

My memory tells me that I visited the house and found that the only
available signal was on the far side of the road from the house. This was
before the era of satellites.

Yes, the TV station is just down the road but I bet that house with the
railway signal is juts too screened there...

I wonder if anyone has tried it since DSO? Ghosting could have made
analogue unwatchable but DTTV is a whole differnt ball game.

I don't suppose it is there any more, as this was back in the 80s. but on
Guernsey, there is a flooded valley with a damn for retaining water. One
year when I was over there and still had reasonable sight, we went there to
see the old village which was flooded as parts of it were visible when
levels were low. I distinccctly recall a no aerial, which looked to me like
band three looking a little worse for wear, just poking up along with the
church spire. Had to use Binoculars to really see it though.
I often wonder when they flood old houses etc, whether anything toxic is
removed first or they just rely on the filtration equipment.

A property where planning law prohibits roof-mounted aerials?

Hmmm. Rotate the view around and you'll see an estate entrance that has
an old railway signal. Click on the railway signal to move towards it.
There's a house on the left. Look down the road in the direction that
the aerial is pointed and you'll see that there is a tree-lined ridge
that must be between the house and the transmitter.
