Here in North Hampshire Belmont is a regular visitor,

Not noticed it a mile south of you...

It's co-channel with CP (obviously, hence the thread), so you need to
screen that off in order to get a clean enough signal.

A mile south of me is the summit of Farleigh Hill, LOS to CP, so it's
not surprising you can't see Belmont's signals there. Anyway, the only
houses up there are Lord Portmouth's tied cottages. Are you one of his
servants ?

They want to bloody well tilt it down a bit so it doesn't come over
here. Bloody Belmont signals, coming over here, seducing our receivers.
I blame that Teresa May.

He might be the good Lord himself! I hope so, this group could do with
ennoblement to match the frequent enlightenment.

Oh - I thought you were in the top of Chineham...

No, I'm about 4 miles north of you then - and on Hannington, as CP is all
but invisible here. Can't even get the 2m Repeaters up there from my
place

Me, a Lord - pah. Wouldn't want to sink to that level. I work for a
living.

Back in the 1970s, the Rediffusion mast on the downs near Eastbourne used
a wire mesh screen on the back of the COP aerials to keep out the French
channels quite successfully.

the
mast was modified for DSO. Never used to get a peep from it during
lifts
when it was taller !

How can you be certain that the ability to receive Belmont is due
to the shrinking of the tower and not due to the increase in power
and the change in FFT from 2k to 8k?

He never said it was due to the shorter mast. He just said he started to
receive it when the mast was shortened.


Since the transmitting antenna for the digital multiplexes were already
lower down the mast when analog was at the top, has the reduction in
mast height actually resulted in any real change in the height of
the tranmitting antennas for digital?
That's a good question and one that I'm sure someone here will know the
answer to. All I can tell you is that Belmont comes blasting across
Yorkshire, confusing the populace as they go about their lawful business
of doing endless factory resets in attempts to banish Peter Levy from
their screens.
After Yorkshire has a UDI the first priority will be to erect a wire mesh
screen approx 350m high along the south-east border. As leader of the
provisional government in waiting I have already begun negotiations with
a local fencing company. This was at the suggestion of the Bash Anything
That Doesn't Work Reight With a Big ****ing Hammer Party, which has a
majority in the county.
However an alternative solution has been suggested by the minority Nay
Lad Let's Fettle it Some Other Road That's Cheaper And More Cunning
Party. Their idea is to broadcast copies of the six muxes from Emley Moor
on the Belmont channels. This should prevent anyone with an Emley Moor
aerial from inadvertently tuning-in a Belmont signal, and would also have
the advantage of greatly reducing the Belmont coverage area, even in
places where they like Peter Levy, such as geriatric homes in Brigg.
The option of launching a satellite from the top of Holme Moss to
broadcast jamming on channels 22, 25, 28, 30, 53, and 60 has been
abandoned, following the police raid on the Chinese Firework shop in
Maltby.

Wasn't it that Brodie bloke from the Borders Agency who relaxed the
controls on signals coming in from foreign parts?
That would explain the Belmont fiasco.
Bloody radio waves will be breeding next and demanding to be housed
in spectrum. Never get rid of 'em now...

It's like a Last of the Summer Wine script, but better. Can you work a
bathtub-on-wheel going down a hill in there somewhere?

It would be difficult without the whole thing losing credibility.
