Halwel Transmitter/repeater, Oct 08

Funny one this, not finding much information on what it is transmitting/repeating.

Went with Scotty.

Years back this thing had at least 8 huge dishes on it. These have recently been taken down and the tower now looks quite naked!

Was nice to see it up close and as a bonus got, what we think, is also a mobile telephone transmitter too.

Anyone got any stats on this one such as power output and what each bit bolted on to the mast does?

Pics:



















Although tempted with a climb (since it had many gantries that branched off the main ladder) we didn't know what this was chucking out..and indeed how many watts it was throwing out. TV i understand is high watt output and this thing did have those 8 dishes bolted to the side a while ago.

Scott has a nice pic of the ladder from bottom to top







Cheers,

Ah, this is nice. Great that you were able to get so close. Interesting stuff!

Looks alritey...Yep, tempting it is.
BUT, all hope is not lost, thats an O2 logo there, what are phone sidnal strengths like, too much still, or?
