Transmission sites on Google Maps street view!

lawhec

With the launch of Street View in the Republic today, might be worth having a shot to try and get as close as possible to some of the transmission sites.

Tried to get Truskmore, but the closest views are too far away, so up first, Clermont Carn.

Monaghan relay station at Lugad. Unable to go up the road leading to the site, this is the best offered.

Achill relay site, Co. Mayo. Again a "best effort" with some zoom, quite difficult to get to most of the main sites it seems.

Apogee

Mullagahanish entrance. You can see the mast slightly better if you go NE along the road.

Carin Hill. Again, the Google Maps car didn't go along the lane to the site, but this is a fairly clear view.

Knockmoyle.

Letterkenny, Co. Donegal - about the closest I've got to so far...

Spur Hill, Cork - another one right by the gate...

Google Earth KMZ File for ye, not definitive (eg no Arklow) but saves scrabbling around. Go straight to placemark and then turn on streetview, hover the yellow man about until the circle below him becomes active.....meaning likely data.

53.877888,-9.318676 = Castlebar deflector (might take a bit of rotating/zooming to spot)

Street view images are a bit distant. Aerial views look OK though.
