| Sam writes: The current pictures of Ashkirk looked a bit out of date so I had a trip up the other day to take some new ones; unfortunately the weather had dulled over a bit by the time I got there but hopefully they aren't too bad. |
| On the way up to the mast (the access road is very broken up in places). |
| Almost there. Note the guy wire blocks are now all fenced in. This hasn't been done at Selkirk,wonder why this work was deemed necessary at Ashkirk ? |
| The site appears a bit tatty,it needs some new paint on the doors ! Looking at the old pictures, the diesel tank appears to be gone but we have gained a new cabin. Lots more signage too. |
| We get a closer glimpse of the site,note the two sets of RBL aerials facing Black Hill. |
| A close up of the RBL logs facing towards Black Hill. Note the use of both vertical and horizontal polarisation for diversity reception. |
| Just above the buildings is this dipole,looks about Band 3 size, does this function as a off-air monitor of DAB from Selkirk ? |
| The VHF/FM array. |
| The view south towards Hawick. |
| The view east towards Berwick. |
| The view north towards Galashiels. The communications masts on Meigle Hill can just be seen along with Long Park wind farm. |
