THRUMSTER
Photos by Peter Bigwood
From 15-Dec-1958 Thrumster broadcast BBC1 405-line tv to Thurso and NE Scotland but the station has been devoid of broadcast services since 405-line transmissions ceased in 1985. Thrumster also carried BBC VHF national radio from 1 Mar 1960 until the switch to mixed polarisation on the move to Rumster Forest.
As you can see from the NGW sign it remains a Maintenance Base for the region, which includes the Orkney and Shetland Isles. Perhaps it also provides part of the programme feed link to Orkney too... can anyone confirm?
