homemade 3 is a stairway to heaven..............

It is ! As a lad I took Dad's decommissioned Band I/III aerial,
chopped up its elements and converted it to a Group C/D UHF. I was
astounded to discover that simply by pointing out of my ground level
bedroom window, I could receive watchable pictures from Mendip (about
90 miles away).

In 1967(ish), my parents old 3-element Channel 5 (Band 1) aerial got
trimmed down for the amateur 4m band (~70MHz). I the furthest contact I
made with it was Gibraltar.
