Lawrence Bennett, author, describes the pioneering long-range radio stations of Somerset.
Somerset’s two main high-frequency point-to-point receiving stations were at Bridgwater and Somerton, with sister stations at Bodmin and Dorchester. They provided secure and efficient radio links between the UK and the rest of the world, and their importance in the 20th century cannot be underestimated.
