Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials 2013 to the present day.

They didn't last long in Bolton/Wigan in South Lancashire in the 50's and 60's, boom to aerial bracket 3 or 4 years, lashing and chimney bracket 5-6 years.
Smoke from the factories and coal fires rotted them, only up a few months and the aluminium was black and started to corrode.
Then the factories closed or started to use electric power, homes went smokeless fuel and things took on a much better appearance. Now aerials last years without problems.
