Re: Transmitter move leaves thousands with poor reception

Re: Transmitter move leaves thousands with poor reception

Re: Transmitter move leaves thousands with poor reception
Attachment works, but requires Google Earth to be installed of course
(What do you mean you dont have GE - go and get it - if for no other reason its free and the best bit of free software going  )
