THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
OVER NORTON

| There has been some "decluttering" of this site recently, to leave just the broadcast antennas. Planning document 10/1279/P/FP at West Oxfordshire District Council answers some of the questions - but raises others. |
| In preparation for DSO this site is now a relay of Oxford rather than Suttton Coldfield. |
| This would seem to be a new receive antenna for Oxford. The planning application states this is a Sira UTV-07 panel on bearing 125. |
| There's still one log remaining - compared with the two in the original photos of this site. I assume this was to receive Sutton Coldfield until the change was made. The planning application gives the remaining log as bearing 355 - the one which was removed is listed as 140. Very strange! Permission was also requested (and approved) for a VSAT dish at 5m AGL - but this hasn't been fitted. |
| The two transmit panels appear to have been retained and show signs of weathering. |
| The enclosure on the right is labelled "Dolphin" however all feeders and antennas have been removed. Previously there were a number of UHF stacked dipoles and an SHF link on this site in connection with this now defunct TETRA PMR service. The planning document also refers to a redundant cabinet which stood on the base to the left of the relay enclosure. |
| The service area includes Chipping Norton, in the valley below. |
