It must be a single continuous cable, no Henley blocks or similar

Although a couple of nails driven into the cable is probably a more
common way of doing it.

I came across a pirate radio transmitter a few years ago where they had
screwed self tapping screws into the meter tails and then used croc'
clips to attach to them. This was in an external meter box at a radio
site on top of a hill and was left open to the weather.

Why does Darwin's law always fail to provide at these moments?



Thats sort of operation is about par for the course these days they are
in it for the money and it can be rather sizeable. Nicking someone's
rooftop and electricity are the norm sadly...

Ofcom seem to have lost control of them..

This particular one had his TX taken 3 times and on the last raid his
studio too.
Strange thing is that I recently helped some one who seemed very
familiar to set up a legal community station :-)
