I spent some time, back in the 1990s, working on Mode S... that's the magic that allows the controller to see the plane details along with their blip. The phased array allows the beam to dwell during data transfer... all very clever stuff
Very elequently discribed...
Surely you mean mode C? Mode S is the recent ADS-B.
@@Tjita1 Nope it was the ADLP design... Mode S
Yes, the SSR radars are Raytheon these days but I recall the early antennas were branded Cossor and made in Harlow. The Cossor Radio Company, a long standing pioneering British name in radio and radar. The company was later absorbed by Raytheon of the US but the site still exists as a UK R&D location.
I like how they are identical. Great that the old one has been preserved. I'm looking forward to the rotor video.
Nothing beats an air traffic radar pirouette.
Hypnotic, isn't it? 😁
So much around us which we pass by without noticing.
In Sacramento California USA we have a street named after Guglielmo Marconi it's called Marconi Ave.
What an interesting video.Yet again quality at its best. Thank you very much for the time and effort gone into your videos.
Thanks so much Graeme thanks means a lot to me
Brilliant once again, your depth of knowledge is amazing
2:25 Radar operating on UHF channel 36. That's why you had to retune the output of your VHS or Betamax if you were living near one of these. Because otherwise the picture would show snow every few seconds.
now that is genuinely fascinating. only if we had SDRs before the year 1990... and I was born before then, so many interesting signals I bet.
There's another one of these radars located in the village of overstrand in North Norfolk that
that you can walk up to
Cheers Lewis - another fine video and thanks again for taking the time. Do you plan to make a video with the two CBs that Knoxieman repaired? That would be fun to watch.
Thanks Mike and yes I do :)
Brilliant as per usual
Thanks Lewis
Another great video, Lewis !! 👌👌👌
Cheers lee
In our airport of Beirut Lebanon 🇱🇧 same radar
Hi pal,,, if you ever fancy visiting Prestatyn let me know. There is an old rotor site here and 2 more 2 miles away, plus a marine radar station and a tetra airwave tower,, drop me a line and I'll give you a tour
Cheers mate!
Lovely stuff mate 😁 This may sound daft, but I've always thought there's something "romantic" about radar...this just reinforced my opinion... especially, the old Marconi which I've spied at hack green in the past 👍🏻
Comrade Wingray,
This is the FIRST comment and also a Stakk Attak!
I'll sort yous all out later. Got to have my dinner first.
Enjoy dinner, Comrade Kim.
@@EportChris Thanks Citizen Chris. You will be rewarded with a "Comrade Stakker" pin badge.
Comrade Wingray gets one with every video uploaded to CZcams.
@@stakkerhmnd I look forward to you hurrying me one by carrier pigeon. So, what brings you to the UK comrade? Was it a raft made from turnips? These decadent capitalists have no idea how we roll 🤣
@@EportChris I came to the UK to provide my superior knowledge and superior technologies to you UK Radio Peasants.
Plus, the Manchester Arndale has adequate shopping facilities, but too many Manc dossers hangin' around Piccadilly Gardens.
I'm speaking to Manc Council and having it all redeveloped in to "Glorious Leader Stakker Gardens".
Nice big statue of me in the middle, holding a quality walkie-talkie.
Your dad has got a raft made from out of date swedes and turnips.
@@stakkerhmnd Go Stakker!
Bring a litlle bit of Pyongyang to the West!
Watching this reminded me of a Navy HF radio base near Blackpool....RNS Inskip.....are your familiar lewis.
I am Nick, debating whether to do it
I used to fly a very small light aircraft....flew over Inskip a few times at around 2000ft....my VHF radio used to get overwhelmed with strong CW type transmissions.@@RingwayManchester
So now I'll be spending the next hour or so reading about ROTOR radar sites...🤓
How much does the dish of St Anne's Radar weigh?
Nice but of drilling, keeping us fed, next year.
Fun fact the radar is still there
I thought the I in IUKADGE stood for Intermediate?
Another very interesting video Lewis!
The four vertical elements on the tower around the radar head. Are they lightning protection or other antennae?
I think they’re lightning but I’m not certain Adam
@@RingwayManchester Yes Lightning protection. Definitely not Antennas as they are connected to earth.
Comrade Wingray,
A lot of your viewers (all of them) won't understand why the radar antenna is rotating.
Let me explain. This is so 360⁰ coverage can be provided.
A lot of your viewers (all of them) might complain about why a tractor is featured at 04:00. Let me explain. Tractors use 2-way radios in the cab.
Thanks brother, I was waiting for you to clarify
I was always intrigued by the radar at the entrance to my local airport growing up, unfortunately they removed and replaced it with brick building and radome. Booring 😴
