| It seems KMFM switched to mixed polarisation some years ago - Ofcom data from May 2014 shows 75 W ERP VP and HP rather than 250 W VP only in earlier data. There are some oddities however, see below... |
| No signage at the site, but wikipedia notes: "A replica beacon pole and the village coat of arms celebrate the role that the village played as a signal bonfire site for many hundreds of years" |
| The water tower was built for the Mid Kent Water Company in 1957. |
| The slant-polarised antenna faces north and the detailed parameters in the Ofcom data support this - yet the maximum ERP is shown as on bearing 080 in the summary data. |
| Seen from the west - the earlier photo from Nathan suggests the original installation comprised a group of three dipoles with reflectors, as seen below... |
| ...old Ofcom data shows a null to the west but coverage north, east and south. |
