At last a day without rain!  There are some jobs you’re always particularly proud of and this one is one of those.  When we arrived our customer’s chimney stack had been re-built as it and the aerial had been seriously damaged in the recent storms.  The builder had taken down the top half of the chimney stack and re-built it, when we arrived we decided to use to large chimney cradles and 2 lashing kits at the bottom of the chimney stack and not touch the newly built top.  With the large chimney cradles spread their self’s over 5 brick courses in total they took up 10 brick courses of the chimney stack providing excellent support  to the light weight Fracarro log-periodic new aerial.

We wanted to achieve some height for the aerial so the base signals were good before fitting an amp, so we decided to use a 12ft 2” alloy mast providing superior strength and support to the installation and being held by the 2 chimney cradles we knew it would still be there for years and years to come.  We attached the Fracarro log-periodic w/b new aerial to the 12ft mast and dropped it in to the 4 fixing points of the 2 large chimney cradles and took out the slack of the 4 large U bolts until it held the new aerial in place.  Using the spectrum analyser we aligned the new aerial and balanced out the digital mux’s.  Now with the readings of strength and quality of the digital signals I was able to go to my van and select a suitable masthead pre amp for our customer to provide them with perfect TV pictures.

We had used WF100 low loss cable to wire the aerial and using a low noise w/b variable gain masthead I was able to turn down the gain of the amp to provide 55db on the ground with very little noise.  Using the WF100 again from the masthead to the sitting room, discreetly hiding the aerial cable behind a drainpipe we were able to surreptitiously enter our cable into our customer’s home un-noticed.  We fitted the 12v 100m/a remote power supply unit and made a new fly-lead from the 12vpower supply unit to our customer’s Panasonic TV, and as Panasonic TV’s give quality readings on screen as you are tuning them we received 10/10 on all the 6 digital mux’s perfect!  We cleared up and wrote our bill our next call was another new aerial Shenfield Brentwood Essex so we didn’t have far to travel to our next call.
