The Londonderry site is on Sherriff's Mountain which overlooks the town of Derry/Londonderry. It provides this part of Ulster with tadio and tv services on UHF, VHF and MF.

Classic FM's transmissions on 100.5 are directional as the RTE relay at Malin Headis just 200Khz away.

RTE's tv transmitter at Holywell Hill is less than 2 miles south of this site and many houses in Co. Derry and Co. Donegal have 2 UHF aerials receiving all 10 tv services available in the area.

Jordy's photo suffered from a fair bit of perspective distortion so I have attempted to correct it.

Roll your mouse over the image to see the corrected version.

Below is a view looking to the west of the site showing another short tower, apparently with UHF panel aerials which probably radiate the local tv service Channel 9. Beyond that is the RTE tower Holywell Hill.
