THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY
INNERLEITHEN
| Photos by Martin Brown | Page last updated: 2019-05-17 |
| The Innerleithen Tx site is accessed by a tarmac track leading up from the right angled corner by 3 St Ronan's Terrace, EH44 6RB. For some unexplained reason, the first 100m is not tarmac'd. This track rises by about 100m altitude. About a 20 minute walk. Quicker on the way down. Conveniently, there is a Co-op at the end of the road, where mb21 photographers may purchase some refreshments after their exertions. BBC National DAB was added on 22nd January 2015. |
| Two 5 element band III Yagis are used for DAB transmit. |
| The UHF transmit panels. I wonder why the third one down on the left is discoloured? |
| Slant polarised band II log periodics for FM radio transmit, with twin UHF 18 element receive Yagis lower down on the left. These point towards Peebles, hence the vertical polarisation. |
| Further round confirms that there are 6 band II transmit logs. 2 each pointing roughly east, south and northwest. The pair pointing towards the camera are those pointing south. |
| Note for Arqiva, the support arm has become detached from one of the UHF receive Yagis. |
