KINGS LYNN

| The King's Lynn site sits in the Sandringham Royal estate. For DSO it received a new tx antenna, replacing the original bowtie stack Editor's note: we have been unable to trace a planning application - which might have given some clue as to the reasoning - but a similar change at Burnham involved the new shrouded cardioid being on a slightly different bearing. It's possible the retention and upgrading of the three "coastal" relays may be to offer an alternative to Tacolneston in areas where co-channel interference from the continent might otherwise be a problem? |
| The site itself sits within trees so is difficult to get a full view of the structure |
| Among the mobile phone gear you can see the 4 receive logs on Tacolneston. The new transmit antenna is the white cylinder right at the top |

| The new antenna uses the same mounting as the old bowties. At Burnham the new antenna is a "shrouded cardioid", but here it is an omni. |
| The site buildings and various outdoor cabinets. The substation feeding the site is labelled (more correctly, perhaps) "Sandringham Transmitter" |
