Hi
Just wondering if anyone in the Reading area knew the approximate cost
of replacing a TV aerial. The old one has to come down (I will dispose
of it), and a new one goes up (I will supply, actually a radio antenna).
No wiring needed except poking the cable through an airbrick. And no
testing required.
I have a quote for £85+VAT. Sounds reasonable?

Remember you will have to drill out the hole in the air brick to pass a
PL259 through .....

Except the PL259 unscrews (two removable bits) leaving quite a small
diameter plug. And yes, you can screw the bits together from the plug
end (that is, you don't need to thread it all the way down the cable).
I've tested it and it fits through the hole.
