| DAB has been added since Mat's visit. Apart from this not much has changed. DAB service dates: BBC, 7-Mar-2011; North West Wales, 24-Aug-2016. |
| A very weathered and generally unloved CCI sign has been joined by this new-style Arqiva version... |
| ...yes, it was or had been raining |
| The trees have grown, though not quite enough to hide the DAB additions... |
| DAB is transmitted from the two dipoles at the very top with maximum coverage just north of west. The TV arrangements appear unchanged - transmit on the left and receive on the right, however this was probably not the original configuration, see later |
| On the way down, the Band II tx antenna is this VP log periodic... |
| Close to the ground the dish for DAB programme feed. The SHF link just above must be aimed somewhere east of north - but there isn't a lot out that way. On the left the Band II receive log and two UHF logs aimed at Llanddona. With site code 118.02 this was originally a relay of Llanddona and, as for Conwy, it seems co-channel interference from DTT may have become an issue requiring the change to use Moel-y-Parc (but with a somewhat simpler solution) |
| The brick building was probably the original and the GPS cones suggest it is being used for the DAB equipment |
