<DIV dir=ltr>Interesting - but the antennas are, in my experience:
<DIV>* - too close together to either match or propagate correctly</DIV>
<DIV>* - not professionally matched</DIV>
<DIV>* - not optimally element spaced</DIV>
<DIV>* - VERY untidily cabled - it does matter!</DIV>

<DIV>No Nick - UK illegal broadcasters aren't mobile - they couldn't possible
get the coverage - and they generally use 300 to 500 W from a cheap hand-built
transmitter with poor bandwidth control - and a tatty antenna which is
blatantly obvious to those of us in the know.<BR><BR>
