Same-Day TV Aerial Repair in Kirkwall
In Kirkwall, TV aerials point south-west to the Keelylang Hill transmitter, 7 km away — Group A, horizontal polarisation. We route TV aerial repair enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering KW postcodes.
Reception in Kirkwall
Kirkwall receives Freeview from the Keelylang Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with horizontal polarisation at 25 kW.
Aerials here point WSW (bearing ~243°) toward the mast, 7 km away. At 7 km from the mast, signal in Kirkwall 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 Kirkwall can often realign to Bressay (167 km north-east) or Rosemarkie (169 km south-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Primary transmitter for Orkney.
