Chain Home / Ace Home site

[Bob Rice, KG4RRN]

I especially think this paragraph is signifigant:
The principle of the tropospheric forward scatter system. is to beam high-frequency signals against the troposphere (5 to 10 miles above the earth), pick up part of the reflected signal with highly sensitive receivers and beam it onward by the same means. This communications technique has many advantages. Its efficiency is not marred by atmospheric conditions; it has a computed circuit reliability of 99.9 per cent; and signals can be transmitted in stages of from 50 to 250 miles. Reduction of the number of required relay stations through these longer stages also means reduced operation and maintenance costs and personnel requirements.

If anyone is interested, here is a little information on an abandoned CHAIN HOME site in UK:



http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/s/stenigot/ 




To fly straight to the site in Google Earth, cut and paste this Lat/Lon to the 'fly to' function in GE:

In GE, someone has added a 'model' of the tower in the Southern corner of the site.
