The two full length images of the tower are stitched from three pictures. |
By 2002 the FM Radio RBL receive aerials are now mounted on the main transmit tower. The two, 6 element band II Yagi's on the right of this picture are pointing towards Rosemarkie. The pair on the left towards Meldrum. In 2002 Meldrum is the RBL source for R1 - 4, Rosemarkie for R.Scotland. The UHF receive aerials point towards Knock More, but do not receive the main band IV Knock More TV transmissions. Instead a directional band V beam was transmitted from Knock More on ch's 66/55/59/62 to provide the programme feeds to Grantown. In October 2003, BBC2 on ch55 was changed to ch64, due to adjacent channel interference from Knock More interim DTT mux D on ch56. Some Grantown dates: 8-Feb-1965 BBC 1 enters service on VHF ch1. RBL Rosemarkie. Closed, 4-Apr-1983. 8-Feb-1965 BBC FM Radio enters service on 89.8 / 92.0 / 94.2 MHz. RBL Meldrum. 27-Jul-1979 UHF TV ch's 1 - 3 in service on ch's 51 / 44 / 41. RBL Knock More band V link. 1979/80 R.Scotland on 94.2 changed to 94.6 MHz and RBL changed to Rosemarkie. Oct-1984 Channel 4 added on ch 47. 17-Nov-1993 FM Radio re-engineered for mixed polarisation and Radio's 1 & 4 added on 99.4 & 104.2 MHz, respectively. |
