Thirty new solar panels were delivered to our Orfordness Transmitter site in Suffolk last Friday. When installed this week they should boost our power generation by another 16 KW at peak times, further reducing our electricity bill.
Transmitter engineer Alan Beech is on site this week working on the installation, along with his helpers Dave and Paul, and presenter Rob Ashard.
Martin Spencer, who runs our London DAB, will also lend a hand, bringing kit to improve the audio on our 648 AM frequency.
In the next day or two Radio Structures will arrive at the transmitter site to overhaul our towering 648 mast.
This is essential maintenance and 648 AM may go off air for short periods during the work. Please bear with us!
