The first FM station to broadcast from here was Galaxy Radio (on 97.2 - before they won the regional licence. They kept Pur Down as their filler for Bristol - Mendip can be notoriously difficult to receive in the city) at a power of 200W. If anyone can prove me wrong about the FM antennas - please do... |
