THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY

DUMFRIES MF

This vintage MF site now broadcasts only one service (TalkSport on 1053Khz) to what is a sparsely populated area of SW Scotland.

Mindful of this and the fact that TalkSport is now widely available on DAB, and with an eye to ever-rocketing electricity costs, I thought I would get a few pictures for the Gallery before the site is likely consigned to history in the not too distant future.

The Band II yagi appears to be on Sandale. I'm guessing it was used to provide a standby feed for the Radio Scotland Dumfries opt-out service that was transmitted from here on 585Khz until June 2020.
