The BBC had a 200kW transmitter at WENVOE, on Band III Ch13 for BBC Wales. ITA had the 100kW ST HILARY site, (Ch7), and also the 100kW transmitter at PRESELY (Preslei), on Ch8. The famous MOEL-Y-PARC station of 1963 was small by comparison: only 25 kW on Ch. 11.
Because of the rugged landscape, numerous low-power repeaters were required, at Abergavenny, Bala, Brecon, Ffestiniog, Llandovery and Llandrindod Wells, among others.
All were gone by the end of January 1985, marking the end of the British television system in Wales.

If you don't want to know the results, look away now (but you might get on the wrong train)

A good service is operating on all World Cup pitches? Stand back, next goal approaching.

As much as I dislike the idea of using the LU system to advertise "results", I hope it is more accurate than the "good service" that is purported to be at times. What next - what won the 1.30 at Chepstow .....  |

Joking aside for a moment, I saw some of this information for the first time today, but it wasn't on the DMIs. It was instead on the status update board(s) at Wimbledon, in the LU landing
