DAB added. August 2015

BBC DAB entered service on 8-Apr-2015. Tyne & Wear on 26-May-2016.








Two 5 element band III Yagis for DAB pointing southwest.

I suspect that the original UHF receive aerials would have been twin troughs, as this site dates from 1968, well before log periodics came into use. The use of ch49 for BBC B at Pontop Pike, outside of the original UHF group, may have been the reason for the change.


Band II receive aerials. Horizontal, pointing at Pontop Pike for the BBC Nationals, vertical, pointing at Burnhope for ILR services.




Sites number reads 10902.
