Thanks Rick.
I think I am going to mount the VHF Antenna. See what it picks up.
It probably hasnt seen a pole in 40 years.
I am not sure current transformer wires will be long enough to reach the mounting bolts. The space between the 2 is quite wide.
I was thinking the bowtie would be a good template for me to attempt to replicate.
