Old photograph of the BBC Scottish Regional Transmitter Station in Falkirk, Scotland. At a strength of 50 kilowatts, the Scottish Regional Programme transmitter, broadcasting on a wavelength of 376.4m was designed to radiate a signal approximately 70 to 80 miles in all directions from Falkirk, the maximum range in which a consistently reliable service could be given. The National Programme transmitter, broadcasting on a shorter wavelength of 288.5m, was expected to radiate a reliable signal at a distance of 50 to 60 miles. The latter also shared its wavelength with other National Programme transmitters across the country. Falkirk is situated in the Forth Valley, almost midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
