The Auchtermuchty tx seems to cover quite a chunk of the A91 "valley" around Auchtermuchty itself, shielded from Angus/Craigkelly by surrounding hills. What looks like an RBL trough receiving signals from Angus is located about 1/3 of the way down the mast on the left hand side in the pictures. In the background, in the distance is Purin Hill, as well as, in the nearer distance in the longer shots, the Tyndall Bruce monument.
Auchtermuchty was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service on 29-Oct-1976 to serve 3,000 people. Channel 4 was added in September 1984. DSO was on 4 and 18-Aug-2010. |
