| Odd site this, notice the massive 4 antenna VHF receive array, the single vhf tx antenna is above it. Also the impressive 12 crossed logs transmit UHF antenna. But, the receive UHF antenna is four yagis in a small valley some 100 meters away. I belive this is to provide screening from Northern Ireland. UHF TV transmissions entered service in July 1980 to serve 1600 people. Channel 4 was added on 20-Jun-1986. BBC National FM radio entered service in September 1980 on 89.4 / 91.6 / 93.8 MHz. The frequencies were changed in 1985 to 89.0 / 91.2 / 93.4. Radio Scotland (Main) on 104.9 was added on 30-May-1991. Radio's 1 & 4 from 10-Jul-1993. |
