Used to live near Mansfield, and I'm pretty sure it was the Belmont transmitter that we received - it's certainly a flatter line of sight than Emley Moor.
Ah right, fair enough. In fact on a decent day, I can get a decent signal from Belmont too in my part of Notts-- some 50 miles from Belmont. So I can appreciate Mansfield receiving the Belmont-- as you say, between the Lincolnshire Wolds and Mansfield, no hills to block the signal really! Seems both YTV mast can be received in Mansfield:
Emley Moor
Belmont
And if you want to be really crazy, if you go up to nearby Alport Height on clear night, one can see both main YTV masts and both Central masts lit up
