Re: Suffolk Hilltop Locn. Poss Lodgewood
Hello Christopher Thank you very much for confirming the site as Peasenhall. I am sorry your colleague is no longer with us. My research has not progressed for years, the UK National Archives at Kew hold files regarding RN1&RN2 open for public viewing after 30 years, but nothing about the earlier ...

Suffolk Hilltop Locn. Poss Lodgewood
A series of old photographs of Regional Government Headquarters have released on the Sub-Brit website. A number of these clearly show the aerial arrangements at RGHQ 4.1 at Bawburgh, Norwich. I visited the site in 1981 and made a note of how I thought the aerials were arranged. The new photograph ...

Re: Suggestions for an Essex or Herts Hilltop location
In December 2012, I received feedback via my personal site that my 'Missing' site could be at Danbury. Apparently there used to be a mast with Civil Defence aerials on it that has now been dismantled. According to a planning application on the Chelmsford Council website, four Home Office aerials ...

Four years have passed since my original posting and I'm beginning to think I may be asking the wrong question. Recently I have obtained a copy of an engineers notes via a non DTELS person. This shows a series of blocks linked together representing the path of ROC UKWMO radio circuits. A copy may be ...

Scottish R.O.C. Post Radio, Emgy Voice Nwk EVN
The RN4 Radio scheme in England Wales and NI is well documented by the ROC however the Scottish parts appears to be absent. It would appear there was no cross-border working from England to Scotland. The HO scheme used single frequency simplex on 12 channels in the 80MHz band. Recently while looking ...

Suggestions for an Essex or Herts Hilltop location
I am trying to update my UKWMO Communications web site and would appreciate help with locating a hilltop site used for Home Defence links. My 1981 records show two VHF yagis at Reed TL356364 carring the Bedford to Colchester ROC and Bedford to Maidstone ROC links. They point in a 5 O'clock direction ...

Pen-y-Fforest found
I have received a couple of emails that have identified the mast located on Black Mixen hill as the one know as Pen-y-Fforest. A photograph of this mast (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7811) and many other HO masts may be found on the Geograph site along with other features of the countryside. If ...

Desperately seeking Pen-y-Fforest
With the exception of Pen-y-Fforest I have managed to successfully track down all the hilltop sites used for the Royal Observer Corps at Wrexham in the pre-WARC era. The ordinance survey Gazetteer finds only one place with this name but it looks unlikely for a number of reasons. It is 60 miles from ...
