KIRKCONNEL
| Photos by David Neale | Page last updated: 2023-03-09 |
| Kirkconnel is a small village in the upper reaches of the Nith Valley to the north of the strangely named town of Sanquhar. The relay is situated on a hill called Todholes Hill on the east side of the valley. Originally an IBA landlord site, TV channels 1 - 3 entered service on 19th December 1975, with Channel 4 from May 1984. The UHF cylinder contains a SSW facing cardioid. DSO was on 8th and 22nd June 2011. |
| The UHF receive trough aerial in this picture is pointing towards Darvel, which was the RBL source pre-DSO. |
| From this angle it can be seen that the BBC FM Tx aerials consist of two horizontal and two vertical band II logs. They are pointing roughly south-east and west. |
| The year was 1989. Radio 1 was added on 29th January 1993. |
