| As part of digital switchover (DSO), the Wells-next-the-Sea tower received new RBR & TX antenna systems. The old analogue Tx cardioid faced south, whereas the new Tx cardioid faces west. The ERP was also increased from 90 W to 1 kW. |
| Plenty to read before entering the site compound... |

| Above, the RBR panel, which receives UHF TV signals from Tacolneston. |

| Even though the site is called 'Wells-next-the-Sea', it's actually situated on the former RAF Langham airfield, near the North Norfolk hamlet of Cockthorpe |
