Reception of C55 hAS been weak, here (IP27) until the last 3 days when it suddenly improved - has the old mast been removed?

Just a quick update, as it was a really bright sunny, Sunday morning - I had a little ride out to Tacolneston, & can confirm Balfore Beaty are in the process of removing the old mast - in fact they were working this morning, well probably drinking tea on-site anyway;)
The RF aerial panels have been removed, it looks like the main mast & it's old microwave dishes to go now.
This may explain if/why some people have beed getting poor reception from Tac, as the high reach equipment they must have been using, may have blocked the signal in some directions, also they probably reduce the power whilst the blokes are up the mast - cannot have them microwaved - can we!

Hi Mike - someone who passes there regularly told me yesterday that the mast is still there, though the panels on top have been removed - still plenty of microwave dishes on the mast ;)

What has happened to the C57 mux starting on 30th Jan? Archant & Bonanza!
Nothing here yet??

So sign of Mustard at IP27, I guess is does not spread this far! Waltham also just about gets here, also on C57, so I guess thatis why Mustard has a north east directional signal from Tac.

Hi Richard - you might be advised to change to the Oxford Transmitter - this will involve turning your aerial round......

Yes, Martini - it is from Madingly - but is pretty strong in Brandon, which is supposed to be well outside the service area ??
