Hannington (Hampshire, England) transmitter

What a shame. So much wasted time and money due to the high pressure and nobody informing the public. In the good old days broadcasters would have cared about this and they used to announce the unusual weather/atmospherics hence saving all the stress.
It would seem odd to me for this to have carried on for almost a week with not a dickybird. I used to be a transmitter engineer and Hannington took its feed off air from Rowridge. It sounds as if Hannington is loosing this feed as the interference is incoming to the transmitter. Folks are complaining using both transmitters.

It puzzles me why the broadcaster would want to keep their customers in the dark.
Come on you guy's. Get your act together!
Come back Engineering information with openness and honesty! Or, at least stick a caption up to save all this wasted time, money & effort.

Yes you guessed. I once worked in Engineering Information where we were proud to keep people informed of situations like this. but..... It was privatised and now we have.......

That feels better. At least I got it off my chest. Thanks UKfree.

An earlier post implied that there is no 4G testing at the moment. I suspect many of the issues are out in the rural areas where there is no 4G anyway and signals are often marginal/weak.
We can't even get normal mobile out here!!
