19 March 2016 – Expedition to Telegraph Hill – Brian GM8BJF & Briain GM8PKL

LRS members Brian Flynn GM8BJF and Briain Wilson GM8PKL made an expedition to Telegraph Hill near St Abbs in Scottish Borders on March 19th to check reception there of the GM8FFX/B 10GHz beacon at 126km near Aberdeen which Brian built and installed last year. They found the signal strength was excellent on this clear sea-path.

They also found a very old but largely-complete wooden radar- or radio tower on the site. Later investigations unearthed interesting theories about its history.
