Blackhill Transmitter - am I seeing things?

**C64** · 7th January, 2009, 10:06 PM

I'm sure a lot of us on here can see the Blackhill Transmitter.

The other day while driving I thought I saw a third mast!?!

Can someone who has a line of site go check that I wasn't imagining the extra transmitter!

sure did witchy. driving down EK express you could clearly see 3 masts

It looks brighter than the other two doesn't it.

I wonder what it's going to be used for...

the new one seems to be further east. think it's been there a while at least 4/5 months maybe DK has got installed

I'm in coatbridge so when I look east I just see the 3 masts, the new one must have new bulbs

I've searched for news on the new one but can't seem to find anything.

always glad to help if i can.
whats DSO anyway?

Reading on that site, it claims that the new mast is going to be 2000 foot tall, surely that's a mistake!!

That's almost DOUBLE the height of the current mast.
