New UHF receive aerial - February 2019

The upper UHF receive aerial was replaced ahead of the 700 MHz band clearance event at Tacolneston which was in June 2018. The 1968 vintage trough receive aerials here at Aldeburgh, were narrowband. They were designed for upper band V (aerial group C/D) only. Tacolneston now transmits the three PSB multiplexes in lower band V. UHF ch's 40/43/46.

The upper UHF receive trough has been replaced with a Sira panel. The lower trough is no longer used. In between, on the left are the twin band II log perioidcs used to transmit Radio Suffolk.
