LARK STOKE
| Photos by Peter Bigwood | Page last updated: 2023-05-10 |
| The broadcast mast is only 13.5m high with a UHF cardioid antenna poking out the top radiating the 4 analogue services and 4 of the 6 digital multiplexes. The VHF antennas are below that and the DTT antenna for Mux C&D is further below at around 8.5m from the ground. When Peter Bigwood visited the site he commented: No change at the site that I can see but I didn't spot a separate aerial for Mux C&D as suggested. (Apparently it's the grey shrouded cross logs below the VHF antenna, close to the off-air receiving trough antenna. The analogue antenna is a Band IV cardiod so the other muxes could share. Mux C&D were so out of band, they required their own antenna.) Lark Stoke was originally a BBC landlord site built in 1966/7 to provide UHF television to about 36,000 people in the Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham areas. There is a link to a BBC RD installation summary at foot of this page. |
