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 viewed here http://www.ringbell.co.uk/ukwmo/zoom/COV.jpg Putting this together with my own observation and the drawning mentioned in the original post has enabled me to create a map of a swathe across the Midlands.

Does anyone have anything similar in their notes showing the VHF links of the pre-WARC era. It would be great to be able to add a few more paths.
The URL for the ROC linkmap is http://www.ringbell.co.uk/ukwmo/Page252.htm#RadioLinks

Thanks in Anticipation

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 BBC chap found some papers blowing around a carkpark when a DTELS hilltop station was being gutted and kept them for 10 years or more. On discovering my site he sent me a scan. The document is hand drawn sketch and covers North Wales and has the designation CB429.

I would love to know more about this sketch. Is it only a section of properly drafted document or may be one of a series?

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Perhaps if I wait long enough the original may be released by the National Archive at Kew under the 40 year rule. For example, Home Office Circular HOC 155-1963 - USE OF POLICE WIRELESS STATIONS FOR CIVIL DEFENCE PURPOSES AND THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY GENERATORS is already available from an official Government site and lists 86 sites.

Thanks in anticipation
