    The slice-of-life format of your video is really cool. It was like coming along on a journey with you :) It is sad to see these old transmitters being shut down though, and concerning. GPS is great ... but it's also a prime target for disruption, in the case of a global conflict. Ground-based nav aids are much more robust in that situation.

    You should've brought a br0ne with you to do some nice sight flyarounds like I did last week of a historic air force radar site. It's great for documenting the site layout.

    Hell yeah. I'd love if there were any cool places like this in Surrey, but alas it's too urban and new for abandoned buildings 😔. Good video btw- it's fun to see silly people document their funny interests.

    Interesting that your thumbnail has dah dah dah dit instead of di di di dah for V. That one sent me to my Morse code references. There is no Morse code character of that sound. Clickbaited, it seems.

      @@akana_ OK, not click bait then. It did get me engaged. Further research into it shows it was the letter ö in continental Morse code. :)
