	Aerial Issues \| Articles \| Pre-echo
		Moving the TV set or its leads even slightly will have a great effect on reception, because this affects the strength of the signal which they pick up, and its phase relationship with the main signal.
		It is sometimes possible to take the TV set from a good picture to almost nothing and back again simply by rolling it half a metre across the carpet, changing the phase relationship of the two incoming signals.
		It applies in cases where some or all of the TV sets are screened from the transmitter only by a few brick walls, or the equivalent, and it assumes that the flylead, etc., is up to standard, as discussed later.

		The first mast went into service on 3rd November 1956 and brought television transmissions to the Yorkshire area which was a difficult area to cover due to the steep Pennine hills and the long distance to the low-lying areas of the East Riding.
		When I returned to Mirfield in 1965 this was the mast that supplied our TV pictures and the signal strength was so great that we had to have an attenuator fitted on the aerial socket because the TV was being overloaded causing ghosting of one channel behind the picture of another.
		The outcome of all this deliberation was the current mast which is formed from a stronger curved tower of concrete which is now a familiar landmark in the area and has withstood the test of time.

		Yorkshire TV and BBC2 were the only services transmitted from the mast at the time.
		The TV was a Ferguson (Thorn) with a mechanical push button UHF tuner, which was where the fault lay - it suffered from the normal symptoms of 'flashing and interference' due to poor earthing contacts to the rotary shaft of the tuning gang.
		From: Richard R: On the day the mast fell, we kids were watching TV and for some unknown reason there was a loss of most of the TV pictures.
