Well, as of 05:00hrs today, the new high power BBC mux is working from
Hannington on Ch 45. About 6 to 8 dB up on its old lower power level
for me.
Working very nicely.

I am seeing a funny. BBC 4 is shown on both ch 45 and ch 46 with good
signal strength on both (but ch 45 is slightly stronger than 46) and
both on LCN 9 with nothing on LCN 8. Yes, I did factory default first!

Quite Normal.

BBC 4 is carried on the post DSO PSB 1 _and_ the pre DSO Mux B.

You'll also find BBC Parliament, CBeebies, and BBC Radio similarly duplicated,
with the 'doubles' probably stored up at LCN 800+.

The reason being is that Sky Sports 1 and 2 are also on the pre DSO Mux B, and
the Post DSO COM muxes, so Mux B has to carry on between DSO 1 and 2.

It'll all sort itself out at Stage 2 on Feb 22

The brand spanking new BBC Mux went off the air for 7 mins at 13:45hrs

Your favorite web site for rumor and speculation, UK Free TV,
reported that Arqiva were having problems with the signal strength
of PSB-1 when it was switched on.

The presenter on BBC Radio Berkshire keeps yacking on saying he's going to
give us the latest news about the, quote; "problems with switch-over at the
Sally Taylor[1] transmitter"

Trouble is he gets so side tracked by what he thinks is some clever
nomenclature to differentiate Hannington from CP, that he doesn't actually get
as far as telling us what the news is !

[1] Sally Taylor is the queen of South of England regional TV (Fred Dinenage
is the king of course)

today, presumably in an attempt to correct things, because it returned
slightly stronger. I wonder how many re-scans were attempted during that
period ? !

The public are now so used to re-tuning that when we take a communal
system off for half an hour loads of them come out after we've put it
back on to say 'it still don't work'!

Was there ever a /Cathode Ray/ in /Television/ - I don't recall one.

Anyone remember H.W. (Mac) Hellier who wrote practically all of tape
recorder under various pseudonyms until his untimely death from cancer?

Well we used his "Foundations of Wireless and Electronics" at Tech
College, and "Get out your Scroggie's" does sounds like a euphemism.

It went through many generations. I have a copy which I seem to
remember was when it was just called Foundations of Wireless. It
managed to do calculus without actually using calculus notation.

And amazingly so do I. 7th Edition, 2nd impression, 1960. A remarkable
run of reprints, and not a single shag in the whole book. You see, you
don't have to have sex to sell.
