THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
BLAENPLWYF

| The original 152.7m, square cross section mast was replaced in 1987 with the current triangular 150.5m mast for the re-engineering of the BBC FM radio services to mixed polarisation. |
| UHF main array, pre DSO aerial panels, and BBC National Radio mixed polarised directional FM aerials, with interleaved DAB. It's not clear what reserve DTT arrangements are available at Blaenplwyf. |
| In the middle of the photo above we can see the four tiers (each of two panels) comprising the FM aerial for BBC Radio Wales - this array carries just this programme on 95.3 MHz. AGL at 106.3 m. |
| The four tier Sira aerials (80 m agl) transmit Classic FM, Real Radio and Radio Ceredigion. Between the top and second top Siras one can make out the commercial DAB aerials (two tiers of single dipoles) at 83 m agl. |
| On the opposite side of the mast to the Siras we can see two pairs of UHF panels. These are at 84 m agl and carried the analogue ch 5 service. |
