Hmmmm....sounds like their talking about a recipe for borscht ! 😃

Meshtastic + Drone + cable ties = profit?

A very inexpensive receiver considering the high quality. Thank you for the review.

00:30 sounds like a ZX Spectrum loading

Great video and good drone content. Love the ferry drone video

How long to charge battery for can you use plug as well what chanel for me and son 1.2 or any

2:38 : That´s CZcams audio library music, I don´t know its name, but I think Hypiotech used to use it a lot

I like the forward slope of the watchtower, it evokes the image of them peering out over the sea. Good architectural design.

What if it wasn't the rails but a train that could be deployed to single the sub fleet? It would be more likely and I believe it has been done before.

Another great educational video Lewis thanks. I made a point of driving through Fleetwood en route to the Norbreck Amateur Radio Rally last month, as I had never been before. I wish I had had more time to explore, but I had to get back to my home QTH of Sheffield in the afternoon. This video makes me want to go back! The night before I had travelled down from a kayaking trip in Co Durham, and took a breathtakingly scenic drive across the North Pennines, and the edge of the Lake District and extended my route so I could do a whistle stop tour of the NW coast before resting for the night in Garstang. I have been wanting to explore that area since I saw the amazing views of Morecambe Bay from Winter Hill a few years back. 73's

Can you play the drums on microwave drum antennas? I've always wondered that my whole life. Some are literally built like giant musical drums.

the coast watch observation building needs a catchy nickname like "the leaning tower of terror".

UK uses different frequencies on VHF marine it seems than US & Canada as our CH 16 (156.8 MHz) is our Coast Guard. You do not need a license here in the US to use VHF marine radios. Canada require a permit to use VHF marine radios.

Is the likely use of this criminal activity?

The leaning tower of Blackpool tried to have a nosey upstairs. Got sent out on my ear.

For lots of reasons stated, I wouldn't use the railway lines themselves as an aerial. However, the real estate associated with the railway offers lots of possibilities to hide an antenna.

Hms inskip not far from there

Does the Ripple firmware allow the T-Deck to still access meshtastic nodes for extended communication, or is it a completely separate network? I did notice that the Dev has updated to an "Ultra" version, adding mapping and geoup texting capability among other options, have you looked at these additional capabilities yet?

Very nice technical tourist tour!

I will have to remember this next time I turn on my wireless to be brainwashed by today's Rubbish

Great video!

Wow that's a blast from the past! Thank you for this video. I am from Blackpool and my late brother trained as an RO at Fleetwood. Somewhere I have a photo from the evening gazette of me, as a toddler looking at the radar screen inside that radar station, during an open day at the college. My brother never worked as an RO, but went on to train as a satcomms engineer at Porthcurno before working for a company in Cheltenham.

Addendum. You are on 139 k subscribers. Autoshenanigans is on 131 k. The race to 200 k is on. Also I am surprised that "TheTimTraveller" was not on the ferry.

That signal over the buzzer is RTTY, and the person on that frequency probably has no idea the buzzer is there. They're not trolling they're using their radio.

And i thought that watchtowers are run by the witnesses of Jehova

Yes I want to see more 👌 Some down south around Luton maybe

Theres many interesting arrays across the coast of north Anglesey. Port of holyhead. Holyhead Coastguard, RAF Valley, point lynas telegraph station, Nebo mast array, (home to GB3AN) And many more ILS and VOR arrays (for RAF valley). Moelfre RNLI station. Marconi experimented from a property in holyhead!! Being "out on a limb" made Anglesey a primary location for shipping, telegraphy and underwater cables, with its connections to Liverpool/Manchester in one direction and Dublin and wider world in the other. Well worth a look into Lewis.

Yes please to the tour of the Buxton transmitter! Great video Lewis. Fascinating to hear about the goings on with local radio here in my home town of Buxton. Keep up the good work!

Sounds like an "anti-mass spectrometer"

I live nearby and Im actually making a documentary on the Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry. I was filming last week :)

Wow. It must have taken ages to do all that research of dates etc

Interesting video thanks for making and posting 🙂👍

Ooh, that seagull at 5:45 appears to have eaten a load of fishing tackle - you can see it hanging down. That is going to be a long, slow and painful way to go.

Not available in the UK via your link apparently...

I've been to Fleetwood quite a few times when visiting Blackpool. I would usually travel on the tram from Blackpool all the way up to Fleetwood and would go to the cafe not far from the tram stop.

Dad can we go play on the beach now ? lol.

About five years ago the National Coast Watch in Penzance observed a murder on board a very small fishing boat in Mounts Bay, I always donate when they're out collecting.

On the rare occasions i go to Fleetwood I always take rainwear or a Mac with me. Even if there are just Rumours of bad weather 😉🤷‍♂️

It is really sad to see the equipment just left to fall apart. The shack should be refurbished and brought back into use.

Where can I find the baofeng bf888s in different color

Your research is so thorough and the photos are so good. . Brilliant Thankyou.

Very nice video! ❤

That's a building in big trouble!!!

1:24 your comment there could not be more true. Our beloved ILR (Lincs FM) was taken over by Beauer media group after 30 years on the air & now the digital varient is absolutely rubbish😡.

Intrigued by your statement saying that the licensing applying to VHF marine band ch 65 & 37, what about Ch 16 & 67, indeed any other Channel in the marine band??

The angle of the building just bothers me!

I have flashed the Ripple firmware for the US 915 Mhz, but once i reset the device, it goes into a loop of connecting and disconnecting from the pc i am using to set it up. Did you have a similar experience? Would love to see a step by step to figure out what i missed. The dev just says to give a shout out with issues, but i have not been able to reach him yet. Any additional pointers? Tia

The 2-lighthouse setup is interesting. I wonder if it works like the lighting system I've seen on the Delaware River, where a system of light towers is set up such that if a ship keeps them lined up with each other at certain parts of the river than you know you're in the channel.

What is that horrendous Soviet Brutalism thing doing on a beautiful coast line? It looks like shite. I suppose its meant to represent a washed up shipwreck or some such nonsense. Just the worst building I have ever seen on a coastline.

No Fleetwood Mac tower? Damn
