Wooburn is a medium power relay serving Bourne End, Flackwell Heath, Wooburn Green and Wooburn itself, just south of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
The tower is located on a ridge to the east of the service area, in a nature reserve called Farm Wood.
Transmissions are from two arrays of four UHF panels. One array is pointing roughly north, the other roughly west. The RX antenna is a single log periodic on Crystal Palace, which was rather difficult to spot in amongst all the mobile telephony festooned on the tower.
Originally a BBC landlord site, TV channels 1 - 3 entered service on 24th December 1976, with Channel 4 from March 1985. DSO 4th and 18th April 2012. |
