    I was in Kilkee over the weekend and tried my picnic box. I do not know what aerial was in the house but I got 40% signal and 98% quality on channel 21. Any idea which transmitter it was from?

    That is a long way away. I was getting very good signal. Woodcock Hill and Maghera are both closer. Surprised.

    I noticed in Kilkee that a lot of houses had three aerials, two uhf and vhf. The uhf were pointing nearly at right angles, with one aligned with the vhf. Why would you need three aerials. If the VHF was working that would get RTE 1 and 2, and UHF would get TV3 and TG4, what is the other one for?

    I also noticed a lot of MMDS aerials and dishes, some houses had both - both rusty.

    I'm probably a similar distance from Mullaghanish and get my TV from there even though I'm about 20 miles from Woodcock Hill but due to the topography I can't get an analogue signal.

    Kilkee also has it's own relay.

    Woodcock blocked (even in Ennis or Shannon is poor to non-existent compared to Patrickswell on South of Estuary) and Maghera very blocked. That's why Kilkee has a relay. Mullaghanish has local path across Estuary then fairly good cross country path. I'd guess only some places in Kilkee area can get Mullaghanish.

    Probably explains why the aerials are pointing every which way.
