THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
PORTREATH
| Photos by mb21 and Neil White | Page last updated: 2016-01-26 |
| mb21 returned in June 2015 to document DSO and other changes. Neil White visited in September 2015 reporting that the site is on a hillside road above the village with good access |
| In this view the service area is to the right and Redruth is on the hill behind |
| Again we see the addition of a satellite dish for telemetry transmission. |
| Things seem to be different on the ground too... |
| ... though the changes are not immediately obvious. |
| Portreath clearly gets lots of sunshine - the red text on the sign has completely faded. Unfortunately not much was in evidence at the time of Neil's visit in September 2015 |
| No change to the transmit array - but the top tier of mobile phone panels has been removed |
| From another angle, plenty of empty feeder supports... |
| ...also an empty "ladder" below |
| I wouldn't recommend using the log to support the dish, though it would probably take the weight. They are, of course, on separate legs of the tower |
| Neil: "With the camera on a dry stone wall I managed to get a line of sight shot of the Redruth transmitter." (The rx antenna is in the top right hand corner) |
