    Some time ago, we had a thread to clear up where transmitters were...
    With Google Earth, we can see exactly where they are...

    Here again is the RTÉ transmitters, which I will add to...

    And new, here are the main NI transmitters with some relays which crop up from time to time here, Kilkeel and Camlough, and the MW station at Lisnagarvey. Zoom in to Black Mountain. :)

    These are KMZ files, which open straight away with Google Earth.

    If you dont have it already, get it at http://earth.google.com/
    Das frei. (but dial-up unfriendly)

    Google Earth works very nice on 3M bb, and not really at at 28k.

    Do put your real email when you register or else you won't get the password ..
    Write all passwords in a little book.

    Thanks DMC.

    Further news...

    I've not changed the files, but Google Earth has got some more clearer images of certain parts of this land...

    You can clearly see Woodcock Hill, Divis, Lisnagarvey and Derrygonnelly.

    Also, with the border in Derry/Donegal now corrected, you can clearly see how close RTÉ got to the line with their tx up there :D
