Portbury is a small village in the shadow of the hills that form the south side of the Avon Gorge. It overlooks Avonmouth and the Bristol Channel, but is screened from both Mendip and nearby Kings Weston Hill. The whole area enjoys pretty good reception of Wenvoe, but the relay is required to provide English programming. It is a low powered relay, with two pairs of vertical
crossed log periodic TX aerials pointing towards the village. The RX
log periodic pair is also
vertical and is pointed at Kings Weston Hill, which is clearly visible
from
