Does this look like an IRS Aerial/Satellite

What a dreadful job, looks like at least a 60cm dish which will have quite
tight beamwidth, with all that above it flapping around in a strong wind
pushing the pole back and forth the signal from that dish is going to be
all over place.

I did not know how they were going to approach this upgrade work, but it
looks like they will be installing at least one or two masts on each estate
which I guess the States of Jersey have conceded is inevitable as one of the
reasons why the SMATV cable tv network was constructed was because there was
already a network of cables running underground in some parts of St Helier
which could be added too (dating from the Rediffusion days) and it meant
that erection of satellite dishes and aerials was kept to a minumum.

Nowhere near as bad as this:-

Dear me. Couldn't be bothered getting the big ladders out.

Just to prove this theory I walked past Hue Court which is a high rise and
on the very top of that building you can see the Aerial of one of these new
IRS masts, its unmistakably the same type of mast used on my estate and the
one across the road.

Have all of these antennas and dishes arrived in container on a ship from England?

Or it is cheaper to source them from the mainland ie the nearest Leroy Merlin in Normandie?

Great Britain is regarded as the mainland here and I would have thought that
the local satellite company with the expertise to carry out this work would
have sourced them from a regular contact in Great Britain.

You're possibly more likely to find better technical expertise, skill, and
common sense in France.

Is that because un certificat de compétences professionnelles (CCP) is
regarded as necessary to go into business, and that such a certificate
is only obtained through adequate training for 6 months, such as

whereas in the UKofGB&NI anyone with a van and some long ladders
can claim to be an antenna installer, and membership of the
Confederation of Aerial Industries means nothing?

Do they cut out Normandie from the weather maps in order to
maintain that illusion?

It's a pity that a local satellite company with the expertise to carry
out the work isn't the one doing it.

I don`t know that for sure as I`m no expert on the subject, the mast
erections looked OK to me and I would of thought they had the Aerial, FM
Aerial and Satellite dish on the one pole because its an IRS system that is
being built.
