Let’s hope NATS/Scottish Radio engineers finally realise that people are experiencing comms problems over the Lakes and they put a transmitter on Great Dun fell or somewhere closer than the Lowther Hill.
Probably unlikely as, strictly speaking, the Scottish area of responsibility ends at 55 North. The bean counters would need justification, or someone to pay for it.

Now, with the new ATC Centre at Prestwick up and running, plus Manchester ATC centre moving up there in late January, it might be possible for the new Centre to make a case for increasing their area of interest further South on an official basis. If that happened, then appropriate RT coverage would have to be provided.
