Comments: Relay of Caldbeck
   

Bassenthwaite was not difficult to find but you can't actually see it until you walk into it, because it's surrounded by trees... however this makes it challenging to take good photographs.

Interestingly, it has a panel rx about halfway up (has to be rx, as dependent Keswick receives a vertical signal), and then both panel aerials and crossed logs at the top.

Channels 42 and 45 are co-channel with Caldbeck DTT services and apparently some parts of Bassenthwaite suffer interference as a result. Two additional transposers were installed to radiate the effected services on additional channels which are outside the bandwidth of the panel aerials - hence the additional logs.
