The BBC and Digital UK report there are no faults or engineering work on the Balgownie (Aberdeen City, Scotland) transmitter.

UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Thanks for all the info CFhris. I was always led to believe that was rhe main transmiier for the area around Dyce. I guess I will just have to invest in an external antenna and a new radio with an external antenna option.
Thanks again,

Allan Robertson: All four multiplexes that transmits, BBC National, D1 National, SDL National and Aberdeen local, are 1.2kW. All transmissions have the same height and radiation pattern, so they are from the same antennas. They are directional, in the direction of Aberdeen and its suburbs.

carries just the BBC National DAB at 300W.

Your next-closest is . It broadcasts the Aberdeen local multiplex at 2kW, and the BBC National and D1 National both at 10kW each.

The only SDL transmitter is Redmoss. In fact, Redmoss is the north-most SDL transmitter in the country.
