SELKIRK
| Photos by Sam Dale | Page last updated: 2017-03-01 |
| Here are some pictures of Selkirk after DSO work. I wasn't too keen of going too near the site given the on-site security but I hope the mast photos are of some use. |
| The broadcast stuff on the mast appear to be as follows from the top: Main DTT antenna (234 m agl) Ch5 analogue antenna (216 m agl) Old trough antenna for BBC analogue RBS from Black Hill (213 m agl) Wrap-around DTT reserve antenna (205 m agl) FM array for Radio Borders and Classic FM DAB array for BBC and D1 (167 m agl) There appears to be a shrouded yagi between the FM and DAB arrays,I think this was (is) a studio link to Radio Borders at Galashiels. |
| Just below the mobile phone array / lower set of aerial lights note the two FM yagis pointing towards Caldbeck for Classic FM RBL. |
| You can see the Classic FM RBL aerials are not too high above the buildings. The building behind the mast is fairly new (within 10-15 years) I suspect this held the pre-DSO Freeview service. The brown brick building in the centre was the original ITA building for the Ch13 405-line VHF service. |
| We've zoomed in on Sam's pictures which give useful detail of the six tier DAB antenna. (Kathrein panels) |
