PORTSLADE

| As noted in Dick Coppen's photos from 2002, the original wooden pole was due to be replaced by a slightly taller and more substantial affair, including a GSM site share. TV transmissions were transferred to the new structure on 5-Jun-2003. By October 2012 the original equipment enclosure had been replaced, but this seems to be the only change for DSO |
| The sign had faded somewhat in the sunshine - and the replacement enclosure is unlabelled |
| 2010: The broadcast arrangements appear unchanged but the compound now hosts a couple of additional cabinets. |
| 2012: New cabin, same pole and antennas. Different weather |
| For transmit an arrangement of 4 + 1 logs, as before. |
| There are two VP logs for receive - maybe some difficulty in receiving a clean feed at this site? |
| 2010: the original enclosure, on the left, showing signs of age... |
| 2012: DSO-style replacement and feeder ladder |
| The site is on high ground near the eastern portal of the Southwick Hill Tunnel on the A27 |
| The intended service area is in a hollow, across the main road. |
