David tells us that CIT-850 is located at IO92rd, and although it is less than 50km from his QTH, it has always been a weak signal - these images show you why. David also says that ironically, Cranfield is also used as a training field for most of the UK's commercial pilots, so the outer marker is one of the few that is still working. He said that the NDB hut was in a very sorry state, and he wasn't able to get inside the compound, but even up against the fence there was only a small signal. The feed was barely 2 metres above ground, and the single wire is draped onto a telegraph pole 30 metres away, and to hear this one, you will need good propagation and a good receiving set-up!

The LUT beacon at Luton is located at IO91uv. David says that the outer marker is now silent, and considering that there is absolutely no added capacity hat or wires, the Beacon itself is an incredibly good radiator.

The SSD beacon is located Stansted Airport in London. David says that the radiator mast is only around 10m tall, which probably explains why so many listeners find it to be a marginal signal. Being on the airport, it has to be lit and you can see the lamp at the top of the radiator. He was also able to get a good shot of the transformer at the base that feeds power to the light, and has included a shot of that as well. SSD is located at: N5153.7 E00014.7, and has a listed range of 20 nautical miles.

Our thanks to David for sharing these pictures with us, it's always nice to see just what kind of set up we are hearing when we receive these signals.
