Tullamore transmitter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tullamore transmitter is an AM radio transmission mast located in Tullamore, Ireland. Built in 1975 to replace the Athlone transmitter, it has always carried RTÉ Radio 1 on 567kHz, currently at 500kW. The Athlone mast was used to carry RTÉ 2fm, and later decommissioned.

The entire setup was taken off-line for a time in 2004 for major maintaince, with the Clarkstown transmitter taking over Tullamores job of carrying RTE Radio 1 to AM listeners in Ireland and the UK. It is scheduled to cease analogue broadcasts permanently in Q4 2008[1], as the lower-power and hence cheaper to run Clarkestown mast provides wider coverage. It is likely the mast and ITU allocation may be reused for Digital Radio Mondiale, which RTÉ has been experimentally using on shortwave.

The antenna, a 290 metre tall guyed mast, is the tallest in Ireland.
