The antennas on the right side should be identical to the antennas at the left
side, but they aren't. Unless I miss to discover since several hours an error on
my side, I think, I have discovered a serious programming fault in the new
POV-Ray 3.7.

Please test my scene source code and give me a feedback. Thanks.

On a side note: it seems I also discovered another programming fault: when
animating (clock), the final video show some sort of black vertical line (a
cut-out?) where nothing is supposed to be. Please view here the video:
