Where the boat is moored we're at the end of the Crystal Palace reception area and there's no real signal until you get to the other side of Reading where the Oxford transmitter kicks in.

Point of order. mrsmelly cruised las summer from Nottingham to London, Bristol, Lechlade and elsewhere and always got reception either on the 10 quid log periodic or the tiny digital aerial, nearly always the log periodic which is continualy connected. Put yer dish were the monkey puts its nuts ? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
