Yeah. Don't get a wideband as that'll pick up all kinds of unwanted
frequencies.

Rubbish.

I don't really know why they make widebands. Decide on
group A or E (I'd be inclined to go for A myself)

That would be no use at all for Bluebell Hill.


get something with a
****load of elements on it, stick it on a 10 or 16' mast and you
shouldn't need to have a masthead amp.

That can't be determined without knowing the local topology.

Amps, remember, don't just
amplify the signal you want, they amplify all those other signals too.
Remember you'll need a double-lashing kit with a big mast. Don't
tighten the top U bolt too much round the mast as it tends to weaken
the mast at that point and a strong wind could bend the mast there.
