Comments:  

The appropriately named Washwater - located at a waterworks SW of Newbury on the edge of  Great Pen Wood.

You can see that the top guys are electrically connected to the top of the mast with isolators about a quarter of the way down to form a capacitance "top hat". This increases the capacitance with the ground and makes the aerial perform as if it were taller.

There are two other broadcast sites in Newbury, The BBC FM site and the ILR FM site.
