| Edale is a small and rather isolated village in the rural Derbyshire Peak District National Park. The original structure when Edale entered service in November 1986, was a 10m high wooden pole. This was replaced in August 2002 with a wooden clad, steel monopole to permit antennas for site sharers to be added. |
| This small stone building, housing the transmission equipment, is quite some distance from the aerial pole. The cables are buried underground. |
| This rather domestic looking Yagi, which is on a very short pole close to the ground and tied down with guy wires is pointing towards Emley Moor. Most likely a remnant of a self-help installation. |
| The new structure is a 13.4m steel monopole, covered in wood-effect cladding to recreate the previous wooden pole appearance. Four crossed log periodics are used for Tx, and two 18 element, white-painted UHF yagis half way up the pole point towards Emley Moor for Rx. |
| Due to the very out-of-the-way location of the site (there is no access track), the replacement pole had to be airlifted into position. |
| Edale was originally a BBC landlord site which entered service on 28-Nov-1986, extending coverage to about 350 people. |
