Optimum Position Planning.
It’s possible with a little work, to pre-plan suitable locations for known radio black-spots. The free, on-line coverage calculator provided by
ATDI can give a coarse prediction of coverage for a given location. In the example below, a location at a view-point on the A684 Garsdale
Road gives an indication that it would permit re-broadcast from the Kendal remote site at Singleton Park, out to the Cautley Spout area where
comms are otherwise impossible.
Although this hasn’t been checked, it
does give some indication (for free) of
where we might want to begin looking
for a suitable location when working in
the Cautley area.
