| Rob: "St John's Beacon - Liverpool Landmark. Located on the top of St John's shopping centre. It used to house a revolving restaurant until the bearings seized, now it houses Radio City and Magic radio, and of course some DAB transmitters. They're located on the top, facing Liverpool Lime Street station. I litererally walked out of the station and took the pictures, possibly one of the easiest missions for mb21 yet, apart from the hangover." Alan: "I wanted to get an update on the North Wales/West Cheshire antenna atop St Johns Beacon. Unfortunately, it was overcast and spitting when I took these, but hopefully they will be of some use to the gallery." |
| Below: Alan's update from "Summer" 2016 |
| The North Wales antenna stack (centre) looks slightly lopsided |
| There are meant to be four dipoles - the lowest one is behind the parapet |
| The Liverpool multiplex looks to be beaming north east, while the North Wales multiplex looks to be beaming towards the Wirral and over to Flintshire. I think the circular halo (detailed in Rob's photos) maybe part of the monitoring of Radio City Talk on 1548 kHz. Editor's note: Ofcom gives the maximum ERP as 345 for D1 and the Liverpool multiplex. Although no bearing is given for the North East Wales & West Cheshire service (not exactly a concise name...) the radiation pattern seems to be centred on 240 degrees |
