Once upon a time, in ye oldene analogue dayes Rhondda A & Rhondda B were effectively two relay stations in one. Rhondda A transmitted from two vertically polarised trough aerials while Rhondda B transmitted on separate channels from two crossed pairs of horizontally polarised log periodics. Group A receiving aerials were required for Rhondda A while Group E or wideband aerials were required for Rhondda B. Since DSO things at Rhondda are somewhat simpler. The same channels are used from both the VP and HP aerials. Oh, and the VP troughs have been replaced by panels. Reception of Wenvoe is achieved using two trough aerials further down the tower. |

Wayne Brewer's photos, taken over two days in May 2010, show the new post-DSO configuration.
A VP trough remains, but I wonder if it is still in use?
Google Street View seems to have captured the DSO work in progress
