THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
FENHAM
| Photos by Martin Brown | Page last updated: 2019-05-19 |
| It doesn't appear that there have been any changes to the broadcast aerials at Fenham since the Paul Bainbridge picture from September 2016, but these pictures have the advantage of being taken on a sunnier day, and with a better camera. |
| The view from West Road. |
| Round the corner into Grange Road this is the northwest face of the tower. |
| At the top the weathered appearance of the UHF cylinder implies that this is still the original band IV cardioid. |
| The two band II FM radio transmit aerials. From Ofcom data it seems likely that the upper dipole transmits 107.5 MHz (Smooth Radio), with the lower dipole transmitting all the other services. |
| The small UHF cylinder is still in situ. |
| Two sets of band III DAB aerials. Ofcom data indicates that the two 5-element Yagis transmit Digital One and the Tyne & Wear multiplexes, while the BBC multiplex is transmitted from the two double folded dipoles. The UHF log periodic on the left is pointing towards Chatton. |
| Band II log periodic receive aerial pointing towards Pontop Pike. |
| Two UHF log periodics. The upper one is pointing towards Pontop Pike, the lower towards Burnhope and a remnant from when this site transmitted Channel 5. |
