"Something as simple as putting the power up by 20 watts WOULD make a
difference. We don’t need height, we do not want to chuck our signal all
over the North West, we simply want to defend our Castle."
Nick,
Why are you dismissive of increasing aerial height? I know from personal
experience that it can make a drastic improvement to reception. Indeed,
it may be more effective than increasing transmitter power. Take a look
at this web page:

it shows a computer simulation of coverage. Doubling height is more
effective than quadrupling transmitter power.
