September 2009 - updated June 2012

In the second photo, taken by Lars in September 2009, we can see the DAB transmit antennas - two yagis near the top pointing to the right - as well as the feed dish below In June 2012 Dan took the dog for a long walk and a closer look at the site and surrounding area

As the condition of the fence shows, corrosion is a problem up here - lots of salt water not far away... The two 6-element yagis shown in the earlier photo have been removed - possibly a remnant of the "Home Office" radio system which was decommissioned in the last couple of years

Everything at this site is directed somewhere between east and south - there's nothing "behind" In this view the DAB yagis are end-on

I've always been a bit puzzled by these Kathrein DAB yagis - in terms of the element spacing. Although the camera angle will cause some distortion it also looks like the third director is shorter than the second?

The customary style of dish for a BBC DAB site

Slightly to the north and near to the cliff edge is this BT site - where the tower has been completely cleared

Looking roughly south east - Snowdonia in the distance. If only the visibility had been better...

Looking west from the road below - the lighthouse and beyond
