Comments: Relay of Dover


David Neale: This now absolutely packed-out relay of Dover has had an extension installed for an O2-Airwave installation. I remember this site from a small triangle tower then its swap to the square tower today and every operator and steelwork added. Will they add more...?


...and the answer to David Neale's question is yes!

Dan: A few changes elsewhere on the tower, notably the satellite dish (DAB feed?) is much higher up. Seems to be yet another layer of mobile phone panels added near the bottom. Whatever happened to the cable clips for the three end-fed antennas (Tetra?) at the very top?

Ofcom data shows Faversham having BBC1/2 fed from Bluebell Hill and there are, indeed, two separate rx logs. (In the existing pictures, the one on Dover is annotated in the final image. The rx from Bluebell Hill is the log facing the camera in the detailed shots of the tx logs.)

This split-feed arrangement will have to end before DSO in 2012.
