Is Woodcock hill a strong signal area?

    I'm looking for an aerial suitable for DVB-T.
    Alot of the aerials on the various online stores will have a note stating "suitable for strong signal areas only".
    It made me wonder if Woodcock hill coverage area is considered strong or weak with regards to signal coverage.
    It might be handy to know and then perhaps I would go for an aerial a bit better suited for a weak signal area.
    How does this transmitter rate against others in Ireland?.
    Any opinions?.

    I'm sure they are referring to where you are in relation to the transmitter when it comes to signal strength. The further away you are the higher gain you will need.

    I have no idea what the test digital output strength will be from Wodcock Hill and how it compares with other transmitters.

    It all depends on how far away you live from it, whether you're behind any hills or in a valley and if there's lots of buildings between you and Woodcock hill. So whereabouts are you going to be using this area? I imagine it'd be fine throughout Limerick city when the signal is switched on fully over the next couple of years.

    From my experience, Today FM (101.2) seems to be the weakest signal coming from there - can you get that ok indoors? Actually, Clare FM on 95.9 is probably worse - is it directional towards Clare or something? Not sure how well these would relate to DVB-T reception though...
