BRISTOL (KINGS WESTON HILL)
| Photos by Robert Whittaker | Page last updated: 2023-11-19 |
| This site is located on a wooded hill in West Bristol. Coverage includes the areas of NW Bristol that cannot receive Mendip due either to being in the valley on the northern side of Clifton Down or on the western side of Kings Weston Hill itself. The two receiving trough antennas are pointing at Mendip, to the south east. The large array of shrouded antennas immediately below the UHF cylinder are for DTT, and radiate southwest, southeast and northeast. Radiation to the north and west looks to be limited by the reflector grid visible on the mast behind the array. Bristol (Kings Weston Hill) was originally a BBC landlord site which entered service on 5-Apr-1974 to serve 21,700 people. Channel 4 was added on 16-Aug-1985. Interim DTT entered service on 30-Aug-2000. The UHF cylinder contains a south-southeast facing cardioid. A non standard channel allocation is used for analogue TV, ch's 42, 45, 48 & 52. This placed all four channels upper adjacent to Wenvoe. (41, 44, 47 & 51). |
