If you make a screen print every 60 minutes you can then play the screens back later and make an animation and watch the way it travels across

Yes, I'm thinking of getting the 10ft mast down off the chimney tomorrow morning and cutting it to 6ft, something I've been meaning to do for a while, as I removed the second antenna for Crystal Palace a couple of years back.

No point in putting more stress on the chimney than is necessary.

I guess I'll have a heavier workload next week, as I'm sure there will be a lot of aerials coming down.
