Satellite Dish Installation in Stromness
Freeview in Stromness arrives from Keelylang Hill, 13 km east of town, so most homes here run a A-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match satellite installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Stromness.
Reception in Stromness
Stromness receives Freeview from the Keelylang Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with horizontal polarisation at 25 kW.
Aerials here point E (bearing ~94°) toward the mast, 13 km away. At 13 km from the mast, signal in Stromness is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Keelylang Hill, installers working Stromness can often realign to Rosemarkie (160 km south) or Bressay (181 km north-east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Primary transmitter for Orkney.
