You are right about North Hessary Tor. When we moved from Cornwall to near Bath in Somerset I was pleasantly surprised to see the B2 signal on my dual standard GEC black and white TV set. Because it's valves tuner would not work on the high UHF 625 channels from Mendip I used it to watch BBC1 on 405 from Wenvoe on ch B5. During SpE openings you would get this strange pattering effect which was co channel interference from the Soviet block FM radio stations.
