Bilsdaletransmitter. One problem for people living in parts of Cleveland is the ridge of the Eston Hills. The terrain map suggests that there should be line of sight transmission to Bilsdale whereas, in fact, I have a high ridge of ground directly in the way and we have always had better reception from Pontop Pike.
When Bilsdale first started transmitting we switched to the new transmitter but experienced severe ghosting due to structures on the Wilton Site and changed back. Friends living close by still viewing Bilsdale are still reporting problems although my wife, who acts as my detector, has said we are rarely experiencing them and, hopefully, when the radiated power is increased they will vanish
