WIVENHOE PARK

As I was in the area, having just photographed the community radio station at Wivenhoe Cricket Club, I thought I take a look at the UHF TV installation at Wivenhoe Park to see if there were any changes made for 700 MHz clearance. At B700 on 1-Aug-2018, Wivenhoe Park moved from transmitting in the upper part of band V to
band IV. Transmissions of the three commercial multiplexes commenced and the ERP was doubled from 10W to 20W.


The four "North Towers" at Essex University. William Morris is home to the UHF TV relay. Keynes to the ILR Tx aerials.


The northwest face of William Morris Tower.


The top, close up. Sudbury Rx on the left. Tx on the right. Also a safety rail now surrounds the top.


Two tiers of UHF log periodics for transmit. They look quite clean and shiny,
so may have been replaced for 700 MHz clearance.


A single UHF log periodic for Sudbury receive.
I wouldn't have thought that the SHF antenna is anything to do with the TV relay.


The top of Keynes Tower, southwest side, which has the ILR transmit aerials.


Two tiers of slant polarised, folded band II dipoles, for ILR transmit.
