THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
SNAEFELL
Photos by James Muir | Page last updated: 2018-05-14 |
Whilst on holiday on the Isle of Man I took advantage of the glorious weather on Sunday, 6 May 2018 to get some pictures of the Snaefell Tx. |
General view of the broadcast tower from the trig point at the summit of Snaefell. Looking South towards the mountain railway summit station. |
A closer look at the broadcast tower. Looking in a South-Westerly direction. |
A close-up of the mixed polarisation transmit panels used by Manx FM. Interesting that there is no panel on the south-facing side of the tower. I know from personal experience that the Manx FM transmissions from this site cover an enormous area, having heard them clearly over 60+ miles away in southern Scotland. |
Sira transmit aerial for Energy FM on the LHS of the photo. |
A view of the square aerial that is used to receive the Energy FM programme feed from Douglas. |
Looking North this time, with the broadcast tower in the foreground and the tower for the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Tx / Rx receive station in the background. |
One of the beautiful vintage trams at the mountain railway summit station. |
