  2. 3/5 Orford Ness #infrared

    Looking across #OrfordNess towards the buildings used in its last phase of weapons research - these were used in the nuclear programme to develop the conventional explosive triggers.

  3. Visting my relatives in #Caversham again and listening to #RadioCaroline on the #Philips D-2122 #receiver from #Malaysia before bed - some QRM from a Spanish PSB and fading, but the 648 KHz signal from #Orfordness is getting across 186 km #radio #AM #MW

  4. You can see here why from 1943 to 2018 the #BBC picked #Caversham (on the border of #Reading #Berkshire and South #Oxfordshire) as a good place for #radiomonitoring (it is high up on the Chiltern hills). The signal from Radio Caroline (250 km away at #Orfordness, #Suffolk) just about reaches here by night, and signals from a 500 kW TX which is apparently at Beijing at 8180 km away are quite strong..
