1MW Steam Powered Radio Station Part 1 of 2

Built in the early 1920’s the Rugby Radio station in England was the largest radio transmitting station in the world. Designed as a very low frequency (VLF) transmitter, the station was designated GBR and used originally to transmit messages across the Commonwealth and later to submerged submarines during the cold war. Our own Don Cheeseman worked there during his career and gives us an insider look at it’s history and it’s operation.
