So we come to the third section of our recent investigation regarding the quality of LTV reception in the Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra areas. Having firstly visited the new transmitter setting to the west of Millstreet town to determine that it was working well we continued our journey westwards. Perfect signal was obtained as we passed Killarney Road….Next best area for reception was at Ballydaly Church. We also obtained a good signal in the Knocknagullane area. The signal then weakened until we reached Knocknaloman Cross. It was clear to Dan Joe that a large area of the Caherbarnagh area were receiving a good signal. The signal strengthened as we came close to the Cadbury Factory and on the eastern side of Rathmore Village. Apparently Gneeveguilla, Knocknagree and Boherbue obtain quite a good signal from Channel 35 UHF and some areas receive the broadcast from both Channels 35 and 30. As we travelled along the New Line from Rathmore, passing Carrigaline and proceeding onwards to the Sandpit House we noted that it was Channel 30 which brings the transmission from beyond the Cullen Crossroads. More sharing of our findings tomorrow. (S.R.)
