Tuesday 11th June 2013, yesterday it was a boat to put an aerial on and today it is a static
Holiday home! Must say the quiet was absolutely lovely, just needed a lazy chair and a cold glass of wine! When we arrived we looked at all fixing points and gave some suggestions, my best was a 16ft 2” alloy mast at a corner of the holiday home and with the floor taking the weight of the mast, I felt it would be both secure and last for years and years to come, however my customer wanted a wall bracket drilling and fixing to the top of the holiday home where there was previously an aerial.

I opened my van and looked for a 6” extended wall bracket which I had, then looked for medium size coach bolts with thread all the way to the top. After finding the coach bots I fitted the wall bracket where my customer asked and went back to my van toe cut down a 6ft ¾ alloy mast to 4ft ish, as I did not want the height of the mast to in any way put force on the holiday home. With the log-periodic w/b aerial now on the 4ft ¾ mast and on the holiday home, I plugged in my meter to have a look at both the signal strength and quality.

The log-periodic was drawing in a nice 37db on all six digital mux’s which I was rather happy with, I secured the u bolts and locked the log aerial in, with the highest signal strength it could provide at the given height. I ran the new aerial coax cable down a disused plastic conduit and took the aerial cable underneath the holiday home. There was already a twin satellite cable entering the holiday home which was redundant and after asking was not going to be used. I cut into the satellite cable and fitted an F plug and then fitted an F plug to my aerial cable. I had already decided I would fit a masthead pre-amp to guarantee the signal so I fitted the masthead underneath the holiday home, out of sight and out of the elements.

All I had to do was to find which one of the twin satellite cables, was connected to my masthead, and which one was still a satellite feed. Easy peasy, I connected my satellite cable to my masthead and made a fly-lead from the power supply unit to the TV, and bingo! Fantastic pictures againg and an incredibly customer!
