Pictures of the aerial for Dee 106.3, which may be found on top of the Steam Mill in Chester City Centre. This building is now used as office space, and is located next to the Shropshire Union canal.

The aerial is just visible on the right hand side at the top of the tower. There appears to be some kind of small flat panel aerial on the mast, though this is hidden by the roof line on these pictures, and is only visible from some distance away.

John Trowsdale comments:
Amazed to see this site in your gallery! For information, it's an elliptically polarised antenna running nominally 100W per plane ERP. How do we know this? We installled it!

The fact that it is barely visible from the street means the planners did their job well - we'd have liked a much higher pole, obviously!






The aerial has now been replaced, as Mark harper's photos from June 2009 show:










Below: two photos from Julian Hardstone from autumn 2014. Julian tells us that this station grew out of the Restricted Service Licence obtained by Deva Radio.
