Problematic Post DSO Repeaters
What is a repeater (or relay) transmitter ?
Below is a list of repeater transmitters (released by Ofcom up to September 2010) which
may give problematic reception without an aerial change. Bear in mind that there are about 1105 repeaters in the UK (listed in these various files by region), and most only transmit to relatively small numbers of people, so the list below is almost insignificant.
The list does not include any of the main 81 "six MUX" transmitters, these are listed above in more detail.
If I`ve missed any “Problematic Repeaters”, please correct me !

* Those with Contract aerials may be more likely to experience problems because their gain curves can be rather more uneven and unpredictable.
Repeater transmitters which may have technically changed group, but the new group is just
below the previous one, are not listed because these should usually work OK anyway !
Heathfield (although it is actually a main transmitter) is an example of this, and its graph
is worthy of study.
Cefn Mawr transmitter is situated 6 miles SW of Wrexham and has the distinction ( ! ) of being one of only three repeaters * which have definitely changed group at DSO, and required those receiving their signals from it to have their aerials changed for (full) digital reception. To be honest I`d have thought that its coverage would be measured in the hundreds rather than the thousands.....
It is vertically polarised and receives its signal from Moel Y Parc which it then retransmits into the valley. Its analogue frequencies were CH41, CH44, CH47 & CH51 so it was a B group, but post DSO they are CH53, CH57 & CH60, i.e. it`s be a C/D group.
* Of those whose details have been released by Ofcom up to Sept 2010.
Below is the view from the base of the transmitter, note the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct,
in the bottom right background, taking the Llangollen canal over the river Dee. Surely the
aqueduct is one of the greatest achievements of the canal engineers, and you can still go over it in a boat, or on foot !

This will replace the three relays at Flint, Bagillt and Holywell which will cease transmitting.
Most people on these three TXs also have an aerial on Winter Hill, so they will then pick up these Welsh Language MUXES (from Storeton Wales) with that same antenna.

Due to revert to a B group at DSO between the 30 May and the 13 June June 2012.
For Tunbridge Wells we recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium signal areas, the Yagi18E or the DY14WB for poor signal areas, and the XB16E for
those with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the aerials can be found on the relevant tables.
Waltham (switched over) SK 809 233, 18 miles SE of Nottingham.
MUXES 1 to 4 are transmitted at 50kW and MUXES 5 & 6 at 25kW.
Was a C/DH group for analogue but only the first 5 MUXES (including the 3 PSBs) are still within the C/D group, MUX 4 usually requires a wideband aerial. This single errant Mux is due to be on CH29 and may well still be receivable on a C/D antenna, although this is less likely to apply to some cheap crappy Contract aerials.
For Waltham we recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium
signal areas, the DY14WB for poor signal areas, and the XB22WB for those with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the aerials can be found on the relevant tables. See Waltham Graph.
Wenvoe (switched over) ST 110 742, 4 miles W of Cardiff.
MUXES 1 to 3 are transmitted at 100kW and MUXES 4 to 6 at 50kW
Was originally a BH group and it still is for all the digital
For Wenvoe we recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium
signal areas, the Yagi18B for poor signal areas and the XB16B for those with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the aerials can be found on the relevant tables.
Whitehawk Hill (switched over) TQ 330 045, Eastern suburbs of Brighton.
All 6 MUXES are transmitted at 4kW.
Was a C/DV group for analogue and still is for all its digital output.
For Whitehawk Hill we recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium signal areas, the Yagi18CD* or the DY14WB for poor signal areas, and the XB16E for those with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the
aerials can be found on the relevant tables.

Winter Hill (switched over) SD 660 144, 5 miles NW of Bolton.
All 6 MUXES are transmitted at 100kW.
Was originally a C/DH group and it`s still C/DH for all the digital.
For Winter Hill we recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium
signal areas, the Yagi18CD* or the DY14WB for poor signal areas, and the XB16E for those
with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the aerials can be
found on the relevant tables. See Winter Hill Graph.

We are more than willing to give advice to those actually purchasing from us. Could those only seeking information please just find the answer somewhere on this site, or ring an aerial installer local to them, or call the reception advice phone numbers.
If you`ve found this site informative and, hopefully, interesting as well,
please help us increase the number of people reading it.
