THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
HANNINGTON
Photos by Mike Dimmick
Given reports of poor performance in some areas on ukfree.tv, I decided to take a look for myself to see what had been done so far and what was proposed.
I've attached a number of photos but I'm not sure that any of the pictures of the mast and aerials will be that usable - my camera's only a 3 megapixel, and the light wasn't great.
The planning application documents are worth a look at http://planning.basingstoke.gov.uk (search for application BDB/71821). They show the new TV transmitting aerial plans:
The new main transmitter will replace the emislot cylinder on top of the mast; the reserve will go where the current digital panels are sited. No timetable of when and how this will happen was given.As for the poor performance: the complainers are in the south-east. The digital radiators are on the west side of the mast (slightly north of west) and face south-west, north-west and north-east. There's no planned coverage to the south-east at present! I've labelled my pictures with the rough directions I was facing.
