    I realise that Band 1 is no longer used for terrestrial television in Ireland but I am about to start work on a project for which I require some band 1 aerials. Does anybody know where I can purchase such aerials? Preferably in Cork.

    Thanks!

    You will be very, very hard pushed to find one for sale commercially in Ireland nowadays. :(

    I still see a few Band 1 aerials up on houses in Glanmire just outside Cork city (the RTE relay for that area is on UHF nowadays but it used be Band 1 for RTE1, Band 3 for RTE2 so people needed a combined Band 1/3 aerial) - you could offer to take them away!!!

    If long aluminium rods would do for whatever you want to assemble Micometals in Ballycurreen Cork would have them.

    There is also the possibility of using ham radio antennas for the 50MHz ("6 metre") band
