We now share our final communication regarding our recent trip throughout the area so as to gauge the quality of the LTV on-air signal.   From the Sandpit House we proceeded into the Rathcoole area where the signal varied and within the village itself we did not succeed receiving any signal.  Onwards to Kilcorney where on the higher ground areas we received an excellent signal.   As we travelled towards Tooreenbawn and Mushera and into quite a good stretch of the Aubane area the signal was good.   Top of Tullig got a splendid signal as did the area right down to Tullig Cross on Drishane Road.   The town itself, Priest’s Cross and some areas east of the town all got good signals.  The town gets its signal from Channel 35.   A perfect signal along Clara Road and Mount Leader.   Thus ended our brief research tour of the Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra areas.   I’ve shared these findings so as to give an idea of where best the LTV signal is available.   Best to have the advice of one’s own Television Installer to determine the best way to obtain the best signal in your area.   As indicated, transmission is available on two channels – Channel 30 (from Carriganima area) and Channel 35 (from western side of town).   Very clear transmission of the weekly LTV2 Millstreet programmes is of course available on the Millstreet website www.millstreet.ie .   Special thanks to Dan Joe Kelleher of LTV for sharing his expertise, time and technical equipment in helping to determine the quality of the LTV signal in our brief survey and thank you for reading our reports on the findings.  (S.R.)
