MARGATE

Photos by Fraser Stuart Page last updated: 2023-11-24

New transmit aerial - 2014 & 2022

A lot going on here, UHF TV, Marine radio, Port of London Radar (PLA), PLA AIS , PLA microwave links and Amateur Radio. The first two pictures were taken on a sunny day in 2014.


2014 and we have the post DSO UHF TV antenna arrangement, microwave links, Radar scanner plus other Tx/Rx systems.


A closer look at that post DSO TV antenna system which we understand to be a Sira UTV-14 3dB collinear with a reflector. The only other site with this arrangement of transmit antenna is West Kilbride.


2022 and post B700 clearance, Margate has a new UHF transmit antenna plus new access ladder. At the second stage of B700 clearance on 16-Oct-2019 Margate became a six multiplex transmitter site.




Closer view of the antenna connections and mounting showing that this antenna is dual fed.
