"I was going through my photos and noticed I hadn't yet posted these on the gallery.

This is the Markham Tower site in Norwich, which is used by community radio station 'Future Radio'. These photos were taken just over 2 years and after Ofcom amended the licence (frequency change 96.9 -> 107.8 MHz and antenna pattern change) and show the new omni-directional antenna system.

I also note a new dipole has be added close to the Band I STL yagi antenna, although I have no idea what it is used for; maybe a reserve antenna?"

The first three photos are from Sean, the rest come from Rob.
