For the Waltham transmitter the multiplexes are now on 490, 538, 570, 
642, 666 and 698 MHz.  The 538 has moved from 514.  The 'new' multiplex 
that I saw ( and deleted) was from the Nottingham relay.  I think I 
should have deleted all channels before scanning the new set of muxes; 
I'll try that later.
