THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
BILSDALE MK1

| It is now 9th March 2022 and the tower is equipped with all the planned aerials for FM and DAB radio, but not the local TV aerials. A scan on my car radio indicated that no FM radio service were being radiated. Not so easy to identify DAB transmission sites. High up on the North Yorkshire Moors I could receive all three national DAB multiplexes and the local muxes Tyne & Wear, Teesside, North Yorkshire, Humberside and Lincolnshire. |
