David Parker: If you look at the predictions on the map at the top of this page, you will see that reception is possible well into the Pontop Pikes area from Emley Moor, and in my experience, the signal can be received quite a distance outside this area.
I live close to York, yet can receive signals from Winter Hill and Waltham as well as the local Bilsdale, Emley Moor and Belmont transmitters.

Hi Dave what I find strange is that people who live in Bradford find it hard to get a signal, but people in newcastle can,very strange
all the best

David Parker: But Bradford is on the edge of the Pennines and as such the terrain goes up and down. Those who are down in the valleys will therefore be quite a way off having line of sight and therefore will have difficulty, which is why relays such as Idle and Wharfdale exist.
The fact that this is the case does not stop the signal going further for those who do have line of sight. It is not solely the distance from the transmitter but what degree of line-of-sight there is!
I believe that the coverage map at the top of this page assumes an omnidirectional radiation pattern as the powers that be won't release them. The green area reaches County Durham so a signal strong enough to cause interference may go further.

David Parker: I have an 18 element group B aerial which is pointing toward Emley Moor. To stop signals from other TX's I have a group B band pass filter. A very good source of information is available here: Aerials, TV Aerial and Digital Aerial
On a side note, yes it is possible to receive Waltham here. I actually have a three element DAB aerial pointing at Waltham for Smooth Radio in stereo, as the national version is now only mono. (YO422QG)

Marie Turner: Could you give more information with regard to your location, such as a postcode, so a check can be made on predicted reception. The number of channels you are able to receive depends on which transmitter the aerial is pointing to and may be affected by the type of aerial and in the case of communal aerials (and some domestic installations when two aerials are coupled together) the presence of filters.
