Main Locations around the Marconi Centre
Our radio club is lucky in lots of ways! As well as an outstanding clubhouse with excellent radio facilities we have the historic Marconi Radio Field with masts and aerails to make good use of!
Key to locations on the above aerial view:
- Remains of the 1901 transmitter building.
- Circular track used by Franklin to test HF beam designs in the 1920s.
- Trench for coaxial feed to the 1920s beam antennas.
- Masts carrying remote tuned doublet
- Beacon antenna
- HF Triband Mosley CL-33-M
- Marconi Centre.
- Disabled parking.
- Club visitors carpark.
- The Poldhu Hotel; now a residential home
Note: We actually have more aerials than this, including a 2 metre band vertical aerial in use by the GB7PC DMR Repeater on the South West Cluster, which contains at least 22 linked repeaters providing coverage from the Scilly Isles to Basingstoke! See our GB7PC DMR Repeater news post for full information.
