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 fr...

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 exi...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

I am a retired BT employee with a personal web site dedicated to U.K.W.M.O communications during the Cold War. A topic on ROC communications includes a limited description the ROC VHF radio links. http://www.ringbell.co.uk/ukwmo/Page233.htm I have received much helpful feedback on various topics. A ...
