CHIPPENHAM
Photos by Hywel Clatworthy and Neil White | Page last updated: 2015-12-31 |
Hywel visited in late April 2015 and found a few changes at the top. Neil was in the area later in the year - the broadcast arrangements appear unchanged |
April 2015 and then |
New Optical link ? |
Can you see the GPS ? antenna ? |
Rear of Equipment above |
The tx antenna is the end fed vertical dipole at the top of the tower |
One of the Oxford facing receive yagis, still bent. This was used for the Radio 1 programme feed. Since Radio 1 national opts outs have been discontinued, Radio 1 at Chippenham was changed back to being a Wenvoe relay in 2014. |
It's now mid-December 2015. The Band II tx antenna is clear of everything else... |
...it's a "rare" type - another example is at Bexhill VHF |
Wenvoe to the left of me, Oxford to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle of Chippenham... What's not known is whether the facility to receive Oxford has been retained as a reserve or whether the yagis have simply been left in place due to the cost of sending someone to remove them |
