| The Corwen relay is located on a hillside immediately overlooking the town. The transmit array is a crossed log-periodic assembly, with one beam pushing power towards the town whilst the other illuminates the Dee valley eastwards as far as Glyndyfrdwy. The Corwen site is used as a feeder for both the Glyndyfrdwy and Llangollen UHF relays. Corwen was originally a BBC landlord site which entered service on 28-Jul-1978 to serve 1,900 people. S4C was available from the 1-Nov-1982 launch. |
| The front entrance to the Tx building. (Couldn't get a squarer-on view because of reflections of the shiny newish-looking sign.) |
| A general view looking West. |
| Looking east-ish. Into a very bright sky unfortunately. |
| The business end. Main TV TX aerials at top, an impressive 6-tier crossed log-periodic assembly using 12 units! Further down on the left-hand tower leg, the RBL aerial on Moel y Parc. |
| A couple of other-users dishes lower down the tower. Interesting, since the lower one seems to have lost its weather membrane, allowing a peep at the feed point. |
| You can't actually see the town from the site at ground level, but just a bit down the hill is a viewing platform, giving a good view of the town as shown. Lighting conditions difficult, the shadow of the hillside leaves most of the town in gloom in the winter months. Note flooding in fields. |
