I'm peed off here in Lettermore too! It would be nice if someone from the transmitter service etc. would maybe answer (but they should please do not use the words "patient" and "apoligise", I'm passed that phase)!

Ally, Dave,
Ive contacted out MP Charles Kennedy and asked if he can intervene. There seems to be little direct connection between the provider of the service and the consumer in north argyll, south Lochaber. If and when he responds, I will post back

This transmitter was off air due to power cuts at the site. It's back on air now.

I can't see any MP being impressed with comments about known transmitter problems. What a waste of public resources.
