| Update required: "Long shot detail of all tx antennas" they said. Not sure why it has taken me two years to submit them, nor am I convinced this objective has been achieved |
| 1000ft of virtual emptiness - unfortunately the base of the mast is hidden from this direction and almost everything of interest is at the top No it doesn't lean really - but if I try to rotate it's "falling" in the other direction |
| The DSO antenna is an array of six tiers of panels, on three sides only of the usual pentagonal spine - see Alexander Heath's photos for more detail There are six Siras at 283m, used by Classic FM... |
| ...then two opposed pairs of crossed yagis at 259m for Capital FM, and two more Siras for Heart at 255m... |
| ...then at 240m we have this rather elaborate arrangement for DAB, shared by all services |
| Not as sharp as I'd have liked - but no fewer than 16 5-element Band III yagis. Maybe there was a special offer? |
| Somewhat lower down is this lonely Sira - a reserve presumably Otherwise there's nothing more by way of broadcast antennas until we reach the receive troughs visible in earlier pictures |
| From another direction it's possible to see more of the lower level, with the top of one of the site buildings just visible on the left I can't now remember my position but it seems a reasonable guess the mountain is east of the site and therefore the two widely-spaced troughs on the left (one just at the top of frame) receive Llanddona - those on the right hand side seem to be aimed at Blaenplwyf |
