I don't think so - the Kirk O'Shotts transmitter has only ever been
VHF - I doubt it transmits NICAM signals. The BBC and NTL have a
bi-lateral sharing agreement where each have half the UHF
transmitters in the country, and run two channels for the "other
side" at each site. I don't think the BBC even use Kirk O'Shotts any
more since the 405-line TV shutdown and the FM radio was moved to
Black Hill. I know the Kirk O'Shotts transmitter is currently used
for at least some valued-added mobile radio services.

In my experience, it takes Cable companies a lot longer to *do
something* than the airwaves broadcasters - coverage in Edinburgh is
very thin on the ground. Does NICAM work over cable anyway ? Also,
most satellite channels do not have digital sound.

Keith says a lot about the Kirk O' Shotts transmitter.  It may be true, for
anything I know to the contrary.  But It's completely irrelevant.

The site used for broadcasting to Central Scotland is BLACKHILL.  For anyone
who knows the area, this is the site about 1/2 a mile NORTH of the M8.  Kirk O'
Shotts is 1/2 mile SOUTH.

Blackhill transmits all four TV stations in NICAM stereo.  The channel
information is:

	BBC 1	ch 40
	BBC 2	ch 46
	STV	ch 43
	Ch 4	ch 50

Each is transmitted at 500kW, and the mean height of the aerial is _268m_ above
ground level.  That's one bloody high tower, and the number of places around
central Scotland from which it can be seen is phenomenal.

This transmitter serves most of Central Scotland, though there are some large
swathes of ground not covered.  I live in Dalgety Bay, across the river from
Edinburgh and about five miles west.  Blackhill is the transmitter I use, and I
get strong and reliable signals from it.  For further information, get leaflet
4908(7)8812 from the BBC.

The Kirk O' Shotts transmitter is currently used for emergency services, PMR
(private mobile radio), amateur radio repeaters and (I imagine) military
traffic.  The Blackhill one, in addition to TV, carries BBC radio and, I think,
Classic FM.  It may have other ones I don't know about; a tower that big can
hold a lot of aerials!

I hope that Keith will not regard my first couple of lines as rude; I was just
wanting to underline the fact that Kirk O' Shotts is not relevant to this
discussion.

My wife went shopping at the end of November one year, and commented to
the assistant on the tape of carol-tunes being played. A very weary
reply was that the tape had been running for about 3 weeks, and repeated
every 15 minutes. Happy new year!

Subject: The connector conspiracy (Was Re: nicam in Scotland)
Date: 6 Oct 92 12:10:52 GMT
Organization: Fulcrum Communications

I now have cable installed, so for those that needs facts (we got 'em)
here's the aggro I had with installing it into my system.  This might
help those of you who want to do non-default things with a cable system.
I didn't find out some of this until it was actually installed...

This all relates to Birmingham Cable, but I am told that others are
similar.

I have a NICAM video, with 1 Scart and the usual assortment of video an
1V composite video connectors, a mono Sony TV with roughly the same
complement of connectors and (recently) an Arcam Delta 150 TV tuner with
again the same set of connectors.

The output from the cable system provides the four main terrestrial
channels on four distinct frequencies low down the band, which your
television will tune, plus the cable channels remodulated into a single
channel.  The default way to install it is to connect that to your video
and thence to you TV.  The bottom four presets will provide BBC1 etc,
and preset five will then display whichever cable channel the decoder is
selecting.  The BBC1 etc signals DO have the Nicam available, and are
pretty good.  I have line-of-sight to Sutton Coldfield transmitter, so
the signal isn't quite as good as my aerial provides, but it's not far
off.

There are also a mono audio connector and a 1V composite video output
from the cable head.  This always carries the cable channel.  Note that
there is NOT a UHF input --- the assumption is that you won't use your
aerial.

I finally hung the TV off the cable head and the Arcam and the Video off
the aerial.  The Arcam and the Video are displayed via Scart (once I'd
solved the problem of the output stage of a powered-off box having a low
imput impedence).  The only catch is needing to record Cable via
composite video.

You can get the signal from the Black Hill transmitter (near Shotts)
in a lot of West and some of North Edinburgh, all of Edinburgh with a
big enough aerial. This is not the official transmitter for
Edinburgh, but works better for places where one of Edinburgh's
numerous hills is between you and Fife. Black Hill has had ITV/CH4
NICAM for some time now, and I think the BBC must be in the process
of upgrading.

what the music or the advert? - the adrvert is advertising diamonds - i seem
to remember they say (or its written on the screen), `what costs a months
salary and lasts a lifetime ?'.  A months salary would be quite a nice diamond
i think. Original question still stands though....

There are several non-UKnet customers in the uucp database for GB,
u.gbr.100. This is posted to comp.mail.maps, which group is not
distributed by Uknet. Until *very* recently, there were only four sites
listed (including Pipex). Here is the latest copy, which includes a number
of sites showing connectivity to ibmpcug. The change to the Pipex entry
was submitted about 2 weeks ago; I just made this cycle. Look at the
"Expires" date for a clue as to the next deadline.

Second problem: ibmpcug is a uknet customer, so is listed with an
artificial map entry (in u.gbr.0) showing only uknet "HOURLY"
connectivity, so mail may get routed that way if the sending system's
mailpath doesn't see the "=ibmpcug.co.uk" entry and know what to do with
it. Over to you, Adrian...

There was also a problem which prevented any path "uunet!pipex!.."
working. This should now be fixed.

You are strenuously advised to get yourself a real domain name. The
"uucp" pseudo-domain won't get any less flaky.
