| In contrast to the TV relay which is handily located adjacent to a main road, this DAB site near Brechin proved difficult to reach due to navigational errors. The tower is prominent but the lower part is well-screened by trees from many directions! A planning application in 2015 suggests the site is now managed by Vodafone. It appears the site was established by Mercury/Cable & Wireless, see link below. The large ground-mounted dishes may remain (but weren't evident) however the main point-to-point SHF links have evidently been decommissioned leaving a relatively empty structure. |
| A distant shot as an interim measure. The DAB installation is two dipoles just above the tree line, on the left in this view. |
| The planning application and Ofcom data both give a height of 25 m above ground and maximum radiation due north. It seems the DAB feeds were to be provided via their own ground-mounted satellite dish - somewhat smaller than those previously at the site! |
