Aerial advice!

Re: Roger Winnen's "Memories of the Southern Route - March 1977 part 8" - the impressive TV aerial is, in fact an amateur (ham) radio aerial - a 3-element beam for the 20/15/10 metre bands . . .

A photo we recently posted of a disused Tavistock North station. We remarked on the impressive TV aerial - which we now, thanks to Dale, know is infact a ham radio aerial! Copyright Roger Winnen.
Many thanks, Dale - perhaps you may have conversed with the inhabitants of Tavistock North, without even knowing it!
