DAB added and new UHF transmit cylinder - July 2025

Since David Neale visited Barskeoch Hill in 2003, DSO happened in June/July 2009, BBC DAB was added on
1-Feb-2010 with 700 MHz clearance being implemented on 31-Jul-2019.

A second structure has been added at the site which hosts the band III DAB aerials at the top, as well as what looks like Airwave aerials. For B700 clearance the UHF transmit cylinder has been replaced on the main tower.
