Marconi for Christmas?


Well, it took five months and more work than I had ever anticipated. But the results is a nearly 200-page study of Marconi's Carnarvon transmitter site in north Wales.

 

You might think it too geographically-niche for where you are, but much of the station was replicated across the world, whilst certain elements were unique.

In the words of the Marconi Co. itself:

"The history of the Carnarvon station is, in large measure, the history of the Marconi Company’s work on high-power transmitters..."

You can buy a copy of my work, the first to use fieldwork and archive study to fully examine and understand this vast site in the 83 years since it was dismantled, using the PayPal smart button here - just £9.99 and available worldwide.

You will also receive a free, meticulously-prepared Google Earth-based plot of the features identified during the fieldwork, and how it all fitted together as a multi-antenna VLF site. 

The text and countless images are delivered as a PDF file; you will received a password to access the file after purchase.
