| The Newark transmitter for BBC Radio Nottingham entered service on 6 January 2004. |
| The site is at Beacon Hill, next to a covered reservoir |
| Transmission is vertically polarised only from a three-element yagi. The tower probably reduces the signal "off the back" - Ofcom data shows a reduction of 25 dB to the east and the maximum ERP to the west |
| The building seems quite large for a site running 200 W ERP - was there provision for possible site sharing? |
| Below: twelve years after the relay entered service and nothing seems to have changed. Certainly no evidence of current or past site sharing... |
| Is the pole "inside" the tower acting as an extra reflector behind the transmit yagi? Certainly it's unlikely to fall down any time soon... |
| ...and whoever designed the installation has carefully arranged for one face of the tower to be aligned with Mapperley Ridge |
| Nothing to identify this as a broadcast site. |
