Many thanks to Jonathan Marks, who shares this short video about the history of the Skelton HF Transmitting Station:
The SWLing Post
Shortwave listening and everything radio including reviews, broadcasting, ham radio, field operation, DXing, maker kits, travel, emergency gear, events, and more
The video has some innacuracies, the transmissions from Skelton were not intended for domestic consumption although, due to the high power levels of the 12 transmitters (100kw each) the programmes could be heard locally (sometimes from bad joints in pipework and on local telephones!!!)
