I've had difficulty matching the "How will the Sandy Heath (Central Bedfordshire, England) transmission frequencies change over time?" '30th June 2018' table entry above with the reality.

Here in Sharnbrook, there's been changes, but I'm finding that the table above is about half wrong. What I find is:

- BBCB is currently on C21, not C27 as listed. Whereas BBCA is on C27 not C21 (they didn't swap over during the shutdown).
- D3+4 is right, it is on C24
- SDN doesn't appear to be on C33 at all, I receive it on C51
- COM7 seems to be on C55, but I'm getting massive drop outs, I haven't managed to find COM8.
- ARQA is right, it is on C36
- ARQB is right, it is on C48

Does this match anyone else's experience?

I did wonder if my aerial was picking up a completely different transmitter or something, but it shutdown like clockwork during yesterday's maintenance window, so presumably it IS the Sandy Heath transmitter. I created the list because I've been battling some weird reception problems here (don't ask!), no criticism of anyone is implied. Hope this helps someone.
