JSF Signal Strength Meter
A friend sent me a picture of this meter.
Must date from at least the mid 1950's when band 3 transmissions started. Any idea who JSF were? The meter would have had a fair bit of use in the western part of Northern Ireland prior to the opening of their local transmitters Divis on Ch1 would have been the one to aim for there. Thanks for any info, Hugh. |

Re: JSF Signal Strength Meter
Thanks, yes just found that. They also made
projection TV kits, had a Practical TV ad in 1958. Based in Branscombe, a very small village on the, S. E Devon coast. |

Re: JSF Signal Strength Meter
Reading the piece it mentions sold
through Viewline sales in Paignton. Viewline was an early tv cable system in East Devon, very hilly and several villages with very bad reception. |
