| BBC National DAB was added on 5th September 2014. Other changes compared with the earlier pictures are that the UHF RBL source was changed from Darvel to Black Hill for DSO, and the UHF cylinder has been replaced for 700 MHz band clearance which was on the 19th September 2018. From the hamlet of Crawick, which is just off the A76, about 1 km north of Sanquhar, a 3½ mile, somewhat variable quality single track road, ascends 340m to the top of Todholes Hill, which is where the Kirkconnel Tx site is to be found. Glad I didn't have to walk up there. |
