Re post no. 319:

Just a thought: Winter Hill ITA channel B9 was virtually omnidirectional at 100 kW ERP, whereas Winter Hill BBC1 channel B12 was directional with a max ERP of 125 kW; so I wonder if the poorer BBC1 reception has anything to do with that as it would depend upon the receiver's location in the sevice area? It could also be due to relatively poorer tuner performance at the higher B12 frequencies.
