THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
WEST RUNTON

| This is a difficult site to photograph as it is surrounded by woodland. I could only find two locations where there was a reasonably clear view of the tower. |

| The UHF cylinder looks very clean and therefore it is unlikely that this is the original 1968 installation. West Runton was effectively given a significant ERP increase at DSO, remaining at 2 kW. Contained within is a cardioid facing slightly west of north (340°). The four element band II Yagi on the right transmits the horizontal component of Radio Norfolk. It points west. |
| The UHF receive trough panels look unchanged. From this angle the upper panel appears to be obstructed by the SHF antennas. It's not. June 2014: we've had a note from Arqiva's "Viewer Contact" for Cromer who confirms that the cylinder was changed for DSO at the time that the erp was increased. |
