The new Third Programme transmitter at Daventry comes into service
From today onwards the Third Programme on 464 metres will be broadcast by a new transmitter at Daventry. The power is being increased almost three-fold to 150 kilowatts, the maximum permitted under the Copenhagen Wavelength Plan, and a new aerial, designed to give as large a fading-free service area as possible, has been erected. The transmitter and the new aerial have several features of technical interest which are described in this programme.
