Whilst it does serve Merseyside, the site is most definitely in Wales! Frozen food company Iceland has a microwave link from their head office at Deeside Industrial Park to this mast. Also Corus (formerly British Steel) in Shotton has a similar arrangement.
In the background on one of the photos, you can see a privately owned PMR mast operated by DeeComms, Chester.
The DAB coverage area is principally Chester, but it also reaches well into the Wirral and Liverpool itself. |
