DARWEN
| Photos by Alan Price | Page last updated: 2017-03-29 |
| Another update for DAB antennas. Darwen was surprisingly easy to get to - it's situated at the side of a main road, and a public footpath runs through a field next to the site. DAB service dates: BBC, 30th June 2014; Digital One and Lancashire, 23rd May 2016. |
| 4 x 5 element band III Yagis for DAB transmit. The DAB antennas point at 90 degrees to the FM antennas, roughly north and south. |
| The FM transmit antennas point roughly east and west. Transmissions are only 10 watts, and reception had disappeared around 2 miles of leaving the site southwards towards Edgworth. [Ed] Also seen here above the band II Tx logs is an SHF antenna facing Winter Hill, which is likely to be providing the Lancashire DAB programme feed. |

| Is the dish bottom left something to do with DAB? [Ed]. Looks like a telemetry dish. |
| FM receive from Winter Hill. Winter Hill is probably used as a source as Darwen is only 0.2MHz away from Holme Moss' frequencies. |
