BOW STREET

New receive aerials - May 2025

At Bow Street 700 MHz band clearance, the rebroadcast link source was changed from Dolybont to Blaenplwyf. Consequently new receive aerials have been installed. The B700 changes at Bow Street were implemented on 31-Oct-2018. Closer examination also reveals that the pole has been replaced.


Considerably more vegetation around the site than in 2008, when Bill Wright visited.


This is the rather overgrown track leading to the site.


Receive is now twin logs on Blaenplwyf. Previously this was twin Yagis on Dolybont.


Blaenplwyf is 6.5 miles away.


A closer comparison of the transmit array between Bill Wright's 2008 picture (left), and my 2025 picture (right), reveals that although the transmit configuration is unchanged the steelwork is different, confirming that the pole has been replaced.


The new transmit array.
