Digital UK postcode checker returns erroneous data?
What do folks make of this:
http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/postcodechecker/main/trade/ML10+6PD/NA/0
For Darvel the polarisation is surely wrong (should be horizontal?) as
are the analogue channel numbers (except C5). The digital channel
numbers, present and future, seem OK though.

Obviously not much...

... anyway, Mark Evans at DUK replied to an e-mail and said:
"There is a gremlin in the analogue channel list, with the Brougher
Mountain channels missing and everything moved up by one row from
Brougher Mountain down to Knockewart. We don't know how the problem was
introduced, but I have asked for a corrected list to be uploaded to the
PCD."
which has clearly happened, as it's giving the right answers now.
"Knockewart"? - does he mean Knock More?

'Rowbridge' seems to be popular typo, as well as 'Embly Moor' and more subtly,
'Fremount Point'

The last time Hil was in the ozzie the staff nurse was called Emely Moor.
She was a tall thin girl with a loud voice. She thought I was a madman
because of my constant laughter.

Apparently not. Mark replied:

which led to a little delving. Knockewart Hill is near Androssan in
North Ayrshire, here in fact:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=%2B55%C2%B0+41'+30.00%22,+-4%C2%B0+48'+13.00%22&ie=UTF8&ll=55.685714,-4.806519&spn=0.125608,0.382805&t=p&z=12&iwloc=addr
or NGR NS238481.
Mark's description suggests the notion of multi-hop RBR - what else
could it be? If you Google for Knockewart relay you'll turn up a couple
of Ofcom documents where it gets a mention, as a Darvel relay:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/ifi/tvlicensing/c4/c4v2attach.pdf
and
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/dtt_changes/multiplex2.pdf
Some VHF allocations for it also appear in this ITU frequency list
http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/publications/brific-ter/files/ific/2005/ific2553.pdf
MB21 seems to have no knowledge of it though. Comments, anyone... ?
