The Blackmill Tx site is located within Bryn-y-Wrach common, at the end of an unsurfaced track. I wouldn't recommend anyone driving here without a suitable 4x4 or off-road vehicle.
It provides TV broadcasts to the small communities of Blackmill, Pant-ry-Awel and Lewistown via two pairs of panels located at the top of the tower, and receives Wenvoe by means of a Horizontal Trough antenna.
Blackmill was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service on 30-Jul-1976 to serve 1,800 people.
S4C was available from the 1-Nov-1982 launch. DSO was on 3rd and 31st March 2010. |
