Coverage
-
Our repeaters are located on the ridge of chalk hills to the southeast of the town of Swindon.
This ridge is a part of the old ancient 87 miles (140 km) path runing from Avebury, Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon, Buckinghamshire known as the Ridgeway.
This high advantage point gives good coverage across North Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire, South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire.
There is coverage along the M4 motorway for 49 miles from junction 13 in the east, all the way to junction 18 in the west.
Reasonable coverage along the A419 truck road from junction 15 of the M4 to towards the M5 and the A420 road from Swindon towards Oxford.
