UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Ridge Hill (County of Herefordshire, England) mast?

Conditions are excellent for FM Dxing this morning. Sunshine 106.2 received loud and clear in Derby on my mobile phone radio!

Radio4 analogue reception ( I am guessing normally provided from Ridge Hill analogue 93.0MHz at 5.0kW ) seems to have disappeared for me since yesterday 22/08/12 - other French & Irish stations on nearby frequencies still available - I have tried multiple receivers with no luck - I am in GL16 7DF postcode.

Dr Noel Meeke: Which FM station(s) are you referring to?

The Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff broadcasts BBC Radios 1 to 4 and Classic FM. It is a very powerful transmitter, covering a large area, which takes in South Wales, Somerset and Gloucestershire.

Engineering works are ongoing at Wenvoe until the end of November, and the BBC Reception homepage [bbc.co.uk/reception] is carrying a notice about it:

Engineering work affecting BBC radio services in South Wales, Somerset and Gloucestershire until the end of November | Help receiving TV and radio

Ridge Hill is a relay of Wenvoe for these five stations. It receives them on FM from Wenvoe and rebroadcasts them on different frequencies, hence if Wenvoe goes off, so too does Ridge Hill and other dependent relays. The BBC page intimates this exact point: "Are any other transmitters affected? It will also affect a number of transmitters that receive a radio feed from Wenvoe."
