bbc radio4 fm from this transmitter has not been available in Tongland,Kirkcudbright area for over a fortnight. I have tried four different radios in various locations and what was previously a good reception is now a complete blank. Several other people in the area report the same complete absence of reception. There is definitely a problem with this transmitter. If I run a check on Radio and Television Investigation Service I am told that Sandale transmitter has no problems but Icannot check signal from Cambret hill

Jim Davidson: Hi, Jim. If you read my post to John McQuistan, I have included a web link to BBC Contact Us and a telephone number for Arqiva, the transmitter company. Cambret Hill is a relay which is fed by Sandale. According to the BBC, you should be using Sandale, whose frequencies are as follows: Radio 1 97.7, Radio 2 88.1,
Radio 3 90.3, Radio 4 92.5,Radio Scotland 94.7, whereas the Cambret Hill relay, whose power is only 128 watts, uses a different set of frequencies. Maybe both you and John McQuistan should re-tune to Sandale, whose frequencies I have stated above. Richard, Norwich.

Richard Cooper: I have tried to retune to Sandale for Radio 4 on 92.5 - I get a signal but much inferior to previous signal from Cambret Hill - sound is very distorted - painful to listen to. Jim Davidson

Re Cambret Radio 4. I agree with Jim Davdson. The 95.3 FM Radio 4 has not been available from 4th July. Many listeners are complaining, particularly in the Kirkcudbright/Gatehouse/Creetown area, indeed the problem has hit facebook pages. I have made numerous phone calls to BBC. I have tried using website links and emails, I have now raised a complaint through that facility. No one in the BBC takes this seriously. We should have been warned and even had an apology. A sympathetic chap at Dumfries BBC thought there was maintenance work going on. I am now considering driving up to the transmitter to see if I can speak to a real engineer. This is ridiculous.

John McQuistan: Hi, John. I am sorry to hear that the BBC has not taken you seriously. Perhaps you should perhaps be a little more assertive in tone? Richard, Norwich.

Jim Davidson: Hi, Jim. Have you thought about installing a VHF-FM aerial in your loft or on the roof, directed at Sandale? I have a two element half-wave dipole in my living room to pick up BBC Radio 4 FM from Tacolneston in Norfolk. It cost me 25 from ATV Aerials, Sheffield and improved reception enormously above the distorted sound I used to get using indoor wire aerials as opposed to the thick rod aerial I'm using now! Richard, Norwich.

Richard Cooper: Thank you for advice but I do not need aerial in loft as signal from Cambret Hill has now returned to normal - no idea what problem was - official line seems to be that no problem ever existed - Jim Davidson
