Waterford City - RTE FM transmitter site

This photograph of RTE's FM relay transmitter site for Waterford city in S.E. Ireland was taken during July 2007 . The mast, in the Rathfadden area (highest part of the city), was originally built decades ago to facilitate a microwave link from RTE studios in downtown Waterford onwards to the main studios in Dublin. However some years ago an FM radio relay was installed on it to give a stronger FM reception in the city of RTE radio than that available from the main transmitter for the southeast at Mt Leinster. The transmit aerials are the two dipoles mounted off the right-hand side of the mast, whilst receive yagis can be seen on the left of the mast.
Thanks to Kevin Carroll for the photograph.

Below is an updated photograph taken in May 2011:
