Thyank's for the PDF thing, other stuff in it interesting as well. Says horizontal pol best for UHF because aerials are more directive, I expect that's why UK UHF main stations are all horizontal, the lower power stations are vertical (well most are) as not so important I presume. It's about a 75/25 mix of horizontal (Waltham) & vertical (Nottingham) round here. I'm on Waltham now with a loft aerial as when I was on Nottingham every time it Thundered it would go off & stay off for ages, Waltham go's off for a few seconds then comes back on again. I can see the Nottingham TX & it gives a slightly stronger signal but not as reliable as Waltham..
