Which transmitter Leatherhead points at
Leatherhead's reception story is genuinely split by the North Downs. North of the A246 — Fetcham, Ashtead Common, the M25 fringe — most properties hold a solid Crystal Palace signal with a Group A or wideband aerial. South and east of the ridge, where the ground rises through Headley Heath towards Box Hill, Crystal Palace drops away fast and Hannington (south-west of the town) or, occasionally, the Reigate relay take over. Properties on the south side of Mickleham and along the Headley Road regularly need a complete realignment rather than a louder aerial. We meter every job — pointing a 'high-gain' aerial at the wrong transmitter is the single most common failed install we get called to repair here.
