The antenna is designed to be mounted vertically for DAB radio and horizontally for VHF TV, with a PCB balun incorporated into the looped dipole for improved impedance matching of the cable.
The element design utilises solid plastic securing clips onto strong boom section.

First class website and easy to navigate when buying items from Blake UK. Was emailed every step for reassurance regarding my on-line order for a stress free purchase. Will definitely be doing another on-line order from Blake UK regarding a TV ariel along with a loft bracket as I will be buying a loft Ariel in a few months time for my home. 💯% satisfied with my order 👍

I’m pleased with the ærial overall. I did have to fix two separate issues though… 1. Many of the elements were bent, some quite badly. Happily they all bent straight again without any fatigue fracture. 2. Many of the elements were not seated properly in the booms. In one case, a vertical element was touching one on the other boom. I was able to pull the unseated ones out to seat better but I’m not sure how long they’ll stay like this.

I was looking for some roof hardware and found what I needed at Blake at a competitive price. I'm glad I bought through them because the transaction was simple and the delivery lightning fast. Received what I ordered on time and happy with the quality. So definitely will use them again.
