Default Re: Interesting UHF aerials.

I remember Radio Rentals using them in areas of high signal-strength (within about 15 miles of a transmitter). They were certainly used in Wolverhampton/Birmingham [line-of-sight to Sutton Coldfield].

Often they still used the thin foam-dielectric coax typically used with Band-I/III antennas, rather than the thick 'Low-Loss' semi-air-spaced coax we're more familiar with in traditional UHF installs.
