I thought I might do a little survey of Marconi's Caernarfon station for a couple of weeks, back in early May.
Approaching the start of August, I'm still at it!
Some images, all (C) MW1CFN from the site:
 |
| A nice, almost chance discovery of a copper earthing strap, the only intact one yet found, on a concrete stay anchor. |
 |
| Two footpads for a 60' per side self-supporing lattice mast. Two of these extended the first antenna by 900' |
 |
| Part of a ladder, another part found downhill, which may well be a 400' length of ladder that ran inside mast 13, which collapsed in 1923 during construction. Another piece lies downhill. |

| A part of the collapsed mast 13. It was part of the tensioning system for the 400'-tall lattice tower. A tensioning rod is still attached, but buried in wet bog. |
