The symbol shows the location of the Kirkconnel (Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland) transmitter which serves 2,300 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Kirkconnel (Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland) mast?
