Re: question regarding freeview aerial
A word of warning !!. The info on Wolfbane is still PRE-SWITCHOVER and is now out of date for Winter Hill and its relays.

The bearings given put you closer to Pendle Forest, but you may have line of sight to Winter Hill in which case this is the one to use. The coverage maps put you in the target area for both. As I said previous, look at the aerials around you, and that will give you a guide to where yours should point, and hence which to use.

Winter Hill requires a Group C/D aerial with the rods mounted horizontal. The increase in Winter Hill's power output at switchover may mean a smaller aerial will now suffice. For Pendle Forest a Group A aerial is required with the rods mounted vertical. The predictor says "Amplified" but not "Hi-Gain" which is strange, but as I say, the aerials around you are the best guide.
