This TX is a small, unassuming tower on a high point overlooking the small town of Efail-Fach. The access track is via private property, so I parked up as close as I could and used a bridleway and public footpath that happily runs right past the site.
The two pairs of TX log periodics cover the town itself and some other properties along the Pelenna Valley (Cwm Pellenna) to the North-East. The VP RX log appears to be pointing North-West, but the relay has been reattributed to Kilvey Hill since DSO, so a new RX antenna is likely now in place.
Email Fach was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service in October 1980 to serve a population of about 700 people. S4C was added on 18-Sep-1987. |
