Harry writes: a few images of the North Oldham relay taken on a dull Summer's evening; this is one of the more accessible transmitters in the area, being located pretty much on the local recreational ground, which itself is located only 5-10 minutes or so from Oldham Town Centre.
I'm not entirely sure of this relay's intended coverage area. It appears to radiate in a South Easterly direction - possibly towards the suburbs of Glodwick and Fitton Hill, but driving around the area I really struggled to notice any wide-scale use of the relay; most aerials seem to be fine receiving direct from Winter Hill or nearby Saddleworth. There did seem a bit of a more wide use of the transmitter in the town centre itself though.
Despite being a little-used low power relay, it's a fairly packed mast that's received the usual added plates and equipment we see on so many masts today. |
