Yes it has which is great. However I suspect it's just a test. I've had nothing on ch45 because of lift for the last 2 days.

In recent weeks I only get Ch45 Wales during a lift, otherwise they are exactly balanced to cancel each other. On Ch39 during a lift I get French DTT and at present have garbage. I also have a steady 82% signal from Cornwall on Ch24 which just happens to be Arklow's 2nd mux.
RTÉ should do the Lotto, they're so good at picking matching numbers.

There must be generally a bit of a UHF lift on. Caldbeck is destroying Divis in parts of Moira this afternoon.

I gave up on CH 45 down here. I use Ch 55 from Dungarvan which is being cancelled out today by some other transmitter. Also I'm at it the fringe for that relay. Thankfully nothing is interfering Ch 39 at present.

I got Caldbeck loud and clear in Magherafelt this morning of all places. It's relatively flat land but still a decent dx scalp.

Good mate of mine in the South of England is claiming a dx scalp from Belmont in Hampshire.

He writes - Good analogue pictures from Belmont (90 degs off beam for me) on 22,25,28,32, and steady reasonably stable DTT reception of Mendip PSB 2 on Ch 54. Can't resolve the HD Mux on Ch 58 though, too much CCI from Midhurst analogue ITV. First time I've ever seen Belmont here.

That's impressive.

Of course some yagi have severe side lobes. One advantage of generally lower gain Log Periodic for same size.

Channel 39 on Mount L. has been non operational since last night.
What a bunch of tossers.........
Too good to be true that they would leave it running.
Are they answerable to nobody for the way they are destroying another public asset ?

St Senan

elsie1b can you not get ch45

iirc elsie1b is in Gorey with a welsh aerial and ergo should be looking for ch 55,the gorey saorview tx if it's on air.

St Senan

Gorey is on air i installed an Aerial this morning pointing to the Clonattin Transmitter at house in Sean Doire estate. elsie1b if you do live in Gorey Try the transmitter at Clonattin Graveyard instead of Mt Leinster

Sorry, I'm in Ballymurn and channel 39 was very handy for distributing dtt around the house ,with no co-channel interference (like on 45 )and messing about with indoor ariels which have their own reliability problems.
In the long-term I may get rooftop ariel repointed towards Forth Mountain but I see this as an unncessary expenditure of time and or money.
