Still can’t believe I was asked to do this. I’ve been broadcasting across #Coventry & #Warwickshire for over 20 yrs and was invited to be part of a permanent feature that pays tribute to an historic former transatlantic radio site in #Rugby & now home to Houlton school 🥰 🤚🏻 📻

Clocks go forward tonight! These clocks at Rugby Radio Station, in use until 2007, would have, automatically, put your MSF radio controlled clocks & watches right. The signal now comes from Anthorn Radio Station near Carlisle.

📻 In the early 1960s, Rugby Radio Station was the heart of fleet communications with plans underway for the UK’s frontline defence to switch from the RAF to the Royal Navy’s Polaris Submarines.

🏛️ Today, Rugby’s ATI tuning coil is on display in the London Science Museum.

Nice 1965 brochure about the Maritime Radio Service received today. All fascinating stuff now sadly consigned to history.

This was published in the local press over 12 years ago. And still there is no monument on the site to commemorate the station. Scandalous.
