| Cambret Hill was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service on 4-Feb-1977 to serve 19,000 people. Channel 4 was added in March 1984 with Channel 5 available from the 30-Mar-1997 launch. DSO was on 24-Jun and 22-Jul-2009. Although Cambret Hill is listed as a relay of Caldbeck, TV transmissions are horizontally polarised. Cambret Hill was scheduled as the Kirkcudbrightshire main station in the ST61 UHF plan with site number 143 at 100 kW ERP. BBC FM radio entered service in November 1980 on 88.7 / 90.9 / 93.1. Radio's 1 and 4 were added on 26-Aug-1993 on 98.3 & 95.3 respectively. Re-engineering for mixed polarisation was completed in April 1995. ILR (South West Sound) was added on 3-Dec-1996. |
