No, more accurately exchanging the old TV aerial for a radio

antenna.
We have another TV aerial on the other end of the house.


What can you get on radio that you cannot get on the internet?


An awful lot of things VHF/UHF: pagers, air traffic, talkbacks (if
there is an OB nearby). HF: weefax, RTTY but pretty much only weather
data these days all the RTTY foreign press stations have either gone
or moved to digital (there are a lot of digital signals out there).

How much of this uses a directional yagi/log periodic on the roof?
