I was stationed at RAF Croughton, a major comm relay from the UK and EU and located near Brackly in Northants, UK. I remember working Chicksands and many other stations in the UK and Europe. I was a Channel Tech Control op 63-66. We had at least 8 Rhombics on base plus Tropo to Iceland. We also had many more rhombics at the transmitter site about ten miles away. We had enough antennas to use space diversity on the WX frequencies. The base was for fighters in WW2. Antennas cover most of the base and is still in operation today.73 Gerry Miller AA2ZJ , re:Also had an array of rhombics at Bingen, plenty of SP-600's. Used primarily for reception. Our GRC-26 used a dipole for xmt/rcv DF work. That was 55 to 58. I'd have loved to have my K3 and 3 el steppIR back then. They didn't get the FLR-9 at Chicksands until after I left in Jun 62. Got my ham license in Nov 61 while in G land but didn't operate until I got back stateside. Yeah, good ole days.73, Rick W7LKG (ex 293x1)---
