[cma-l] Tallest ever Community Radio Mast?

[Alex Gray, Two Lochs Radio]

I would have been ready with the salt cellar as well Ian, if it weren't for
the fact that the planning application is genuinely there, along with a
formidable amount of correspondence from all the consultees and interested
parties.

 

I think it's telling that the application includes a document on community
support for the project, which in turn says that 75% of respondents agreed
that the plan to partner with Dover Community Radio would bring benefits.
The applicants probably realized they would need all the community support
they could for this project (not to mention some very long guy wires!).

I think a seasonal pinch of salt might be wise.

I wonder if they have any idea how much these things cost - and how they can
be used in a real-life situation?
I would have thought we have adequate ways of sending material across the
Channel very cheaply already.

Interesting story from Alwyn on the MB21 discussion forum - don't think it's
first of April yet...:

Application reference 16/00044

An application for a 320m high 3m face width mast at Richborough, which it
is proposed will host free of charge a community radio station for East
Kent.

The reason for such largesse? The mast will form part of a shortened
microwave path to mainland Europe for high frequency trading.

Believe it or not, a second application is on the way from a competitor in
this business for a 305m high mast, also at Richborough, also offering free
hosting of community radio:

What a shame there's "no frequencies available".
