[IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Video: A Visit to BBC Orfordness 648/1296





This from MW Circle list:




17 minute video just uploaded by Jonathan Marks shot at Orfordness in 2003 where he interviews and is shown round by engineer Andy Matheson.

There are also references to Crowborough where Andy worked and the Aspidistra transmitter, parts of which are preserved at Orfordness.

Andy also mentions the 50kw transmitter, originally intended for the Mi Amigo which instead went at short notice to Bechuanaland during the Rhodesia crisis, then to Crowborough, later used at Canewdon to jam RNI, taken back to Crowborough and ended up at Orfordness.

Entitled Tribute to BBC 648 kHz Orfordness - The Geeks Version it goes into some detail about the antennas and transmitters used.
