The half wave FM dipole works very well on FM, and pretty well on DAB as well !
(c/w 2.0 inch rotating clamp)
See Aerial Reports for the Half Wave Dipole.
The folded FM dipole aerial gives very good results on FM, see FM/DAB test results.
(c/w 2.0 inch clamp, vertical or horizontal)
The DAB dipole aerial gives very good results
on DAB, see FM/DAB test results.
(c/w 2.0 inch clamp)

Note, if there is such a thing as a “universal aerial” (which there isn`t, but bear with me)
this is it. In most cases you can`t go far wrong with a Log 40, particularly if you need a wideband aerial. It is particularly suitable for Digital (i.e. Freeview transmissions) and is relatively short which is preferable for loft installations.
If you`re still short of gain then try adding a variable gain (capable of being turned down
to a low level) mast head amp. Also see DY14WB.
The Wall Kit consists of everything needed
to fit an aerial (on a wall, obviously ! ) :
Log 40 aerial, if there is such a thing as a “universal aerial” (there isn`t, but bear with me....) then this is it.
6 foot cranked pole which is the most versatile mast as it can not only “crank” around an obstruction but also be cut down to a 3, 4 or 5ft crank, or a 3ft straight, if required. Note this pole
is 1.25” x 16G (not the thinner 18G).
A straight pole is a no cost option,
please phone for this.
9” x 9” wall bracket as with all our brackets
it is welded and hot dipped galvanised.
The total stand off with the 6ft cranked pole
is 19” (approx). See “Thick N` Thin”.
4 x Screws, Wall Plugs and Washers
Insulation Tape (33m) (to tape the cable to the pole, not to waterproof an outside joint ! )
20m Of Quality Cable (black), the average downlead is about 15m, but we supply 20m,
just to be on the safe side !
The cable and/or clips can be changed to brown or white, please phone for this.
Co-
The price of the individual components would
be £64.85, the kit is £58, thus saving £6.85
The Chimney Kit consists of everything needed
to fit an aerial (on a chimney, obviously ! ) :
Log 40 aerial, if there is such a thing as a
“universal aerial” (there isn`t, but bear with me....)
then this is it
6 foot cranked pole which is the most versatile
mast as it can not only “crank” around an
obstruction but also be cut down to a 3, 4 or 5ft
crank, or a 3ft straight, if required. 1.25” x 16 gauge.
A straight pole is a no cost option, please phone.
8” Mitre Chimney Bracket, as with all our brackets
it is welded and hot dipped galvanised. The total
stand off with the 6ft cranked pole is 17” (approx).
Lashing Kit (c/w instructions)
Insulation Tape (33m) (to tape the cable to the pole)
20m Of Quality Cable (black), the average downlead is about 15m, but we supply 20m,
just to be on the safe side !

be £68.85, the kit is £62, thus saving £6.85
TV Aerial “Kits”
For those unsure exactly what they want / need we have put together two “Kits” which
we feel will be appropriate for the great majority of installs.
The aerial is suitable for all transmitters in areas of good, medium or medium/poor signal strength. If your signal is unsatisfactory after fitting this antenna we would advise the fitting of a variable gain mast head amp which will work well with a Log 40. I must say that unless you`re sure you`re in a poor signal area, I`d just order the kit because it`ll probably work
fine without the amp. You`re only risking a bit of P & P (for the M/H amp re-
If you want to fit an aerial in the loft you can just buy the aerial, the loft kit, the cable
and Co Ax plug separately.
The contents of the kit can also be used as a reminder of what
is needed if you are making up an individual order.
If you wish to fit a different aerial, the wall mounting kit is available without the antenna.
The price of individual components would be £39.85, the kit is £35, thus saving £4.85.
If you wish to fit a different aerial, the chimney mounting kit is available without the antenna.
The price of individual components would be £43.85, the kit is £39, thus saving £4.85.
The cable is just as important as the antenna, and the downlead
should be changed as a matter of course if any work is undertaken
on the aerial, unless you are sure it is sound and of good quality.

The XB22WB is the correct aerial for
wideband transmitters for sites in the
The dimensions and the test performance
can be found on the relevant tables.
(c/w cradle & tilting clamp for poles up to 2”)
The DY14WB is the correct aerial for wideband transmitters for sites in poor signal areas.
It is also an alternative aerial for C/D group and
E group transmitters.
The dimensions and the relative test performance
of the antenna (Wideband, C/D group or E group) can be found on the relevant tables.
(c/w cradle & tilting clamp for poles up to 2”)
An E group aerial is a “semi wideband”, its response is optimised for the middle / top of the band, at a cost of some gain down at the bottom, see Gain Curves.

The 3 element FM gives excellent (directional) results on FM, see FM/DAB test results.
(c/w 2.0 inch clamp)
Note, a side pole should be used if this
aerial is mounted vertically polarised.
FM & DAB aerial dimensions
The FM half wave and folded dipoles
are both 59” (1.5m) high, or 59” wide if horizontally polarised !
The 3 element FM is 59” (1.5m) wide
by 34” (86cm) long.
The DAB dipole is 24” (61cm) high.
(Also see wiring up an FM dipole)
This is the antenna I`d go for if you are unsure of the transmitter you will use, but you are sure
you need a “high gain” aerial. But most people don`t need a high gain aerial ! See Log40.
The DY14 is a good choice for someone needing to fit a high gain wideband aerial in the loft because it`s only 5 ft long, which is pretty compact for an aerial with this amount of gain.
For loft mounted installs we would normally recommend the XB10A due to its smaller size.
For loft mounted installs we would normally recommend the XB10B due to its smaller size.
The XB10A is an alternative aerial to the Yagi18A
for A group transmitters for sites in poor signal areas.
We would normally recommend the Yagi18A for
external installs and the XB10A for loft installs.
The dimensions and test performance of the
antenna can be found on the relevant tables.
(c/w cradle and tilting clamp for poles up to 2”)
The XB10B is an alternative aerial to the Yagi18B
for B group transmitters for sites in poor signal areas.
We would normally recommend the Yagi18B for
external installs and the XB10B for loft installs.
The dimensions and test performance of the
antenna can be found on the relevant tables.
(c/w cradle and tilting clamp for poles up to 2”)
If you need a high gain aerial to fit in a loft we`d normally
advise the use of a DY14WB due to its smaller size.
The XB10K is an alternative aerial to the Yagi18K
for K group transmitters for sites in poor signal areas.
It is particularly suitable for loft installs by virtue of its
relatively small size for the gain of the aerial.
The dimensions and test performance of the antenna
can be found on the relevant tables.
(c/w cradle and tilting clamp for poles up to 2”)
For loft mounted installs we would normally recommend the XB10K
due to its smaller size and slightly higher gain.
