Mast is festooned with ropes rigged to facilitate access. Personnel observed on site yesterday.Much equipment covered in tarpaulins in vicinity. No engineering has been reported. I can supply photos if this would be helpful. (have unsuccessfully gone through initial setup several times) Please can you assist. Thank you.

Single frequency interference | Freeview InterferenceThursday 6 September 2012 10:11AM

On the last occasion, Sept 4th. that I "lost" the BBC A group + radio it turned out that engineering had been in progress.
At other times, however, I lose this group (only) during, I have noted, persistant rainfall. (water on slate roof).This may indicate the BBC group signal is weaker - could this be the case? Thanks for your attention.

John Cameron: By approx. 1345 today 11/01/15 the normally receivable signals were restored. The relevant transmitter chain being Campbeltown, Port Ellen and the transmitter in question, Bowmore. Breakup on the HD channels is severe however: perhaps this location is once more off-grid and on locally generated power which is, by the way, much appreciated , as are the efforts of Scottish Hydro to maintain the electricity supply throughout our island community and further afield. Storms never last.

Good-day!! the Bowmore Transmitter, Isle of Islay, after a lengthy trouble-free spell is once more experiencing 24 hr.severe interference on certain channels resulting in loss of sound and pixcellating of vision. designated numbers are 045,100,102,103,104,105 and 123 involving mainly the HD delivery. Standard resolution of these is unaffected. The interference is as before, occurring as pulses of approx. One second. Thanks for this opportunity to report.
