DFWB,

Have you decided which TV channel the set was set up for? Reading the earlier (many!) posts it seems a little unclear to myself !

Is it possible that somebody attemted to retune the Set and gave up?

By the way: It was possible to receive Holme Moss just outside Cambridge (albeit with co-channel from the Cambridge B2 relay). Of course this set's operation may have predated the relay. My experience was that Crystal Palace on B1 was a stronger signal (which would also have been true of Ally Pally days, if you study the service area maps).

Either way, I'm pleased to read of EF54s and EF50s in fringe action !
