Just wondered why different transmitters in the South East will have different 'transmission power' values post DSO.
I'm in Ashford, some parts of which have traditionally had poor coverage from Dover. Like many others, my rooftop aerial was changed to 'point the other way' to Heathfield and the signal boosted to get any chance of Freeview coverage, which is 'sort of' OK most of the time.
Obviously it will get much better when Heathfield gets DSO, but I note that Heathfield goes from 1.6kW/1kW to 20kW 'post DSO' whereas Dover goes from 2kW/1kW/500W to 80kW/40kW.
