sorry for gobblygook in previous message.. Ronan: is there any high powered transmitters on the isle of man...i.m a tv dxer and enjoy it..i.ve a samsung 46 inch tv mpeg 2 and mpeg 4 combined so can recieve freeview from ni and possibly wales from clandonna and have clear view to isle of man wonder is there any horizontal transmissions from there ..thanks for your help briantist i.d like to recieve manx radio on fm and made numerous enquiries to various satellite dealers looking for a 8 element directional fm aerial as i.ve a clear view to isle of man from my location..do you know anywhere i could get an 8 element fm aerial..thanks for all your help I found one finally from uk..its an 8 element directional aerial and have 10 ft pole on chimney clear view out to sea..isle of man is roughly 50 miles away approx and can get manx radio on car radio up near dublin mountains.. i.m about 60 ft above sea level...by the way how far does digital tv signals travel as divis is roughly 90 miles away and will transmit 100 kw of radiating power..i can recieve it in poor analogue at moment using amp . will digital make much difference...thank you for help.. ronan o dwyer: i just checked that and beam is aimed northwards...Divis i guess it is...would 100kw power from divis make much difference signal wise comparing to 500 kw of Analogue... briantist can u explain how come the e.r.p of sandale or divis on ukfree.tv says on FM they transmit at 125 k.watts and yet on thebigtower.com/live/Caldbeck/Index.htm it says they all transmit at 250 kilowatts...how come the huge difference..same with divis too
How far south of border can divis be recieved?. Is it be possible to recieve Divis from Dun Leary South Dublin using a group A yagi with a masthead amp etc or have you heard any reception reports from this area ...
