| Whitehaven MF was originally a WWII Group H site which transmitted the Home Service on 1474 kHz from 15-Dec-1941 to 28-Jul-1945. It was located about 200m south of the current MF site, at Whitehaven Brickworks, with an aerial suspended between the two brickworks chimneys. The site was reactivated on 7-Oct-1951, transmitting the North Home Service on 692 kHz at 0.25 kW. A new 2 kW transmitter took over the service on 14-Mar-1954. During 1968 a second service was transmitted on 1151 kHz carrying the North-East regional version of Radio 4. This service ceased on 2-Sep-1972. On 24-Nov-1973 Radio Carlisle launched on 1457 kHz. This site was replaced by the current Whitehaven MF open field site with the frequency changes of 23-Nov-1978. |
