    DMC! Thankyou!

    It is the first chance I have had to view the video. A part of Irish history.

    They mention only five frequencies allocated to Ireland under the (1952 ?) Stockholm agreement but there were actually seven used (not including relays) given that Truskmore and Kippure broadcast on 405 and 625 lines.


    Was this achieved by frequency reusage (say Truskmore sharing with Mt Leinster or Mullaghanish) renegotiating the ST52 agreement or did the 625 line duplication have to wait for the revised Stockholm 1961 plan ?

    Looking at Dail debates during the period there were concerns that there might be interference between Maghera and Divis while others were concerned that Mount Leinster might interfere with both Black Mountain (UTV) and Pembroke (Wales) one TD suggesting some radical (albeit flawed) replanning to resolve any possible issues
