FORT WILLIAM
| Photos by Martin Briscoe | Page last updated: 2018-07-06 |
| Fort William originally transmitted 405-line BBC TV (using Band I ch 5) as well as BBC FM radio, and the archive photos from Martin Briscoe show the two sets of super turnstile aerials, the upper set for Band I TV and the lower set for Band II FM radio. Service date 28th February 1963 for both. A fourth FM radio service carrying the MF version of Radio Scotland was added in January 1980. BBC 1 closed in January 1984. |
| I came across these photographs which show the removal of the Band I antenna from the original Fort William tower. Must have been around 1990 from others papers with them. I can't remember the sequence, there is no sign of the new tower so presume just the TV antenna were removed initially. |
