Another set of local TV aerials added - September 2020

Oxford has had another set of aerials added for local TV. These were required for 700 MHz band clearance (B700), with a change to two new UHF channels with separate coverage patterns. The local TV changes were implemented on the 23-May-2018.




Top, the new local TV transmit aerial array. Bottom, the original local TV transmit array. Ofcom documentation quoted an aerial height of 59m for the original aerial. I estimate the new aerial system is at about 66m. The crossed pairs on the left transmit on ch 22, while the aerials on the right transmit a beam to the east on ch 46.

No obvious changes to any of the other transmit aerials, but here they are again.
