THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
FOLKESTONE MF
| Photos by Peter Vrakking and Dan Glover | Page last updated: 2011-05-29 |
| Peter: In May 2009 I was spending my holiday in New Romney. On our way from Dover towards New Romney we drove by a medium wave antenna near Dover. I stopped and shot the following pictures. Dan: I paid a visit to the various Folkestone and Dover sites in August 2010 and I've added a couple of my photos to Peter's update. |
| This is the entrance to the transmitter site where we find three buildings. I think the transmitter is on the left and the building on the right contains a generator. |
| From the back you can see from left to right the generator building, transmitter building and a separate building at the feed point. In the foreground is the fuel tank for the generator. |
| A close up of the feed point |
| The bottom of the vertical section is insulated and held in place by an arrangement of springs |
| This is the centre of the "T" which forms the antenna |
