The signal strengths have got a bit muddled up here. Rosneath has both HP and VP components, in different directions. Rosneath HP wasn't actually documented previously.
VP signals are currently 10 kW for analogue, 200W for digital. HP is 0.8W for digital. After switchover all VP multiplexes will be 2 kW, all HP multiplexes will be 8W. All six multiplexes will be broadcast on both VP and HP.
