Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials 2013 to the present day.
Re post no. 653;
... it may be the shorter elements of channel B5 mean that the mechanical stresses are sufficiently less for the elements not to bend/fracture. Vertical polarization operation helps as well as you don't have the constant torque on the dipole and element holders due to gravity. Also you don't have well fed crows landing on the elements !
But I agree with Simon, the Band III sections look in good nick as well. It make you wonder whether it is still a functioning aerial - or will junction box corrosion have got it?
