| Location: | Wolverley Park, 1 mile North of Kidderminster town centre, co-sited with GB7PZT BBS. Maps etc. can be found on G8PZT's Site |
| Purpose: | User access and local / national / international linking |
| NGR / QRA: | SO 829,781 IO82VJ |
| Height ASL: | 46 metres |
| Propagation: | The site is on a promontary intruding into the Stour valley, and the ground falls away on all sides except to the west, where it rises sharply. Kidderminster is surrounded on all sides by hills, so line of sight coverage is limited to 2 or 3 miles. However, the hills refract signals so overall propagation is good to the south, moderate to north and east and poor to the west. |
