| Simon: "The AM station for Magic 1548 can be found on the site of the old Bromborough Power Station (Thermal Road). I tried a shot but I don't have an optical zoom and it's not possible to get any closer (unless you work at Lubrizol!)." Dan: "My June 2012 attempt was not the best and the Update List has continued to say 'Detailed photos needed'. Suspect this may be Mission Impossible without privileged access" |
| Simon's original photo |
| As Simon indicated, there is no access from the adjacent main road - but soft ground is probably a good thing on an MF site. |
| Late on a dull day in June 2012 - yet I had a theory this was not a simple mast radiator... |
| April 2013: more light and the trees not yet in leaf, but the vegetation in the foreground is starting to block the view |
| The transmitter "hall" is the white building - which appears to have at least one Band II antenna on the roof. Possibly an RBS arrangement since Radio City was once carried on 1548kHz (from a previous site at Rainford) and remains part of the same group? The base of the mast is surrounded by a close-boarded fence |
| Looking at the top section the inner sections of the stays are electrically bonded to the mast (with insulators part-way down) and the lower stays are insulated or made of a non-conducting material |
